About GroupWatchlist

Hi, I’m Jaron 😁. I built GroupWatchlist as my senior project to sharpen my skills as a developer—especially working with React and building a backend with Firebase. It’s also a tool I use personally with family and friends to decide what movie to watch together.

With GroupWatchlist you can:

  • Sign in securely
  • Create and manage watchlists
  • Add items to any list
  • Share lists with others
  • Vote on items to help the group choose
  • Filter and sort lists
  • Randomly select an item
  • Check off items you’ve watched
  • Make a list private when needed

The project is a work in progress, and I’m planning several improvements:

  • Refine the design and make the site fully responsive on mobile
  • Integrate a movie database/API so items can be added automatically
  • Add clearer sharing options and user-guides to improve accessibility
  • Enhance performance, security, and maintainability behind the scenes
