Concept
During 2020, my friends and I formed a movie club as a means of relieving our collective boredom. For the last four years, we pick out a movie every two weeks, we watch it individually, and then we get together over Zoom to review it and rate it.
As time went on, we started to grow a dataset. As a personal project I took that data from our Google spreadsheet and piped it into Gatsby’s build system, turning our ratings into a glorified movie club website.
Code
Upon each build of the site, the Gatsby Node system collects the movie data, fetches extended data from other Movie APIs, and uses that data to create the website.
Code samples: Github
Features include details of the next movie to be reviewed, details of the last movie, a slider of the last ten movies, and a movie listing page that allows users to filter through the data based on movie reviewers and low/high ratings.
