Watchlist: Your New Movie Tracker

Watchlist is my final project for CS50’s Introduction to Computer Science, by Harvard University.

Watchlist is your new to-do list for movies. Instead of trying to remember what movies you’d like to watch, just add them to Watchlist, where you can view them anywhere with an internet connection.

Watchlist is super simple: register, and you’ll be taken to your watchlist, which will initially be empty. Click on the ‘Add’ button in the navbar to start adding movies. Type in the movie you’d like to search for, and it will be added to your list.

Can’t remember the name of that movie you wanted to watch? Just log into Watchlist!

Finally got around to watching that movie? Click the button at the end of the movie’s row to delete it.

Watchlist was built with the following technologies:

• HTML
• CSS
• Bootstrap
• Python
• Flask
• SQL
• SQLite

Watchlist’s movie data is from iTunes via their API, which technically means that a movie has to be on iTunes in order to add it to your Watchlist. As of April 2020, there are 65,000 movies in the iTunes store, so hopefully you won’t feel too limited when searching.

Lastly, I’d like to thank the CS50 staff who have put together a tremendous course. I took an Intro to Computer Science course in college over two years ago, yet by the end of this course I realized I had learnt so many new things that I hadn’t previously learned in my CS degree. I’m looking forward to taking my next CS50 course.
