Using Deployed App

Registration

First, click on the 'Register' button

Then, fill in your email, username, and password.

Adding Friends

You'll be redirected to your dashboard page. From here you can click to discover movies, or add friends. First, let's add a friend.

Simply fill in your friend's email address in the provided line and click 'Add Friend'. They'll have to be registered on the app as well.

Once you do you'll see a flash message confirming that your friend was added!

Searching Movies

Let's search for a movie. When you click 'Discover Movies' you'll see 4 recommended movies, sorted by their rating.

If you'd like to search for a movie, just type in the title and hit 'search'. Let's try 'Titanic'

We have 40 options! In case you meant a different one.

Maybe you've got movie ennui. Then let's just see what's rated best. From the discover page, click 'Top 40 Movies by Rating'

And we have a list of 40 movies sorted by their rating! Great.

Movie Details

Let's go back to that Discover page and click on 'Venom'. We see more details.

Create A Viewing Party

Let's click that 'Create Viewing Party' button!

We have the option to set the date, time, and duration of the movie. And a little radio button to add our friends. We've only got the one, 'pop', so let's add them.

Once we click submit, we'll see all the viewing parties we're hosting or attending, and a list of the attendees.
