🎥 Gorgeous desktop movie collections

🚀 Hi there!

🎓 My name is Lacy Morrow and I'm a Full-Stack Web Developer with a passion for UI/UX Design. I have decades of experience building and scaling large-scale software applications with technologies such as Javascript, Typescript, and Node.js.

👨‍💻 I enjoy contributing to Open Source Projects and have been a contributor to many Open-source libraries such as Electron, NW.js, NextUI, and the Nightwatch testing library. I also maintain a collection of personal open source projects:

🎮	🍿
CrossOver	Movie Trailer
Casper	Movie Art
Album Art	Movie Info

I am constantly learning new technologies to stay up to date with the latest trends and am constantly building or prototyping something new.

🎨 In addition to web and app development, I'm also passionate about videography and design. I have experience creating brand identities, logos, and user interfaces. I believe that accessible design is essential to creating great user experiences. I also build and pilot FPV drones for action media.

📚 In my free time, I enjoy building electronic hardware and reading. I've helped create hardware devices such as the hackpack. One of my favorite books is The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams.

cinematic's Issues

Up/Down keyboard controls should jump a single row

Right now they jump 3 movies, which works fine on large screens as there are 3 movies per row. On smaller screens with fewer movies per row, the selection doesn't make sense.

Package for windowsOS; linux OS

Update app icon

auto rename files

To a standard format like name [year].extension, if wanted. Could make Movies.That.Look.Like.This.2015.HDRip.XviD.XXX-XXX.AVI look much nicer.

additional movie filters

Like Newly Added (to local drive), Watched, Recently Viewed (in details)

Move IMDB link to better location and make it work

not sure where

Recursive folder search

Split cinematic.js into multiple files & compnents

It's a bit unwieldy. I never intended to add this many features or the project to grow so large. At ~700 lines it's ready to be split.

The settings array is shared by the client and server so that needs to be worked out...

average rating

combine the ratings of TMDB, OMDB, and MetaCritic

Flexbox

Re-lay template using flexbox

Built in file browser

Write tests

testing is for pussys

Do something with unused data points

popularity, country, language, awards are being collected and unused

New keys per person, or get an app key for these freemium apis

shit. This is going to out-scale quickly.

cache movies (or urls?)

Random refresh button

add a random field and refresh it; use it as sort

sorting by runtime, ratings

Remove 10ms delay from gif

Causes flashing when installing in Win/64

Mongo performs case insensitive search

based on filename.

"Crash" comes before "alice in wonderland"

account for missing sort params

not sure how null values are handled when being sorted

Does not automatically find video files in Windows

Documentation

Write some

limit, possibly paginate number of movies displayed

watch link is inaccessible

so is IMDB

No movies found on mac os
