Pandemic Pictures

Node.js
November 2020

A movie tracker built during the pandemic to document a personal mission: watch every Best Picture nominee ever made. Designed, coded, and shipped with my husband—because why just make a spreadsheet when you can build an app?

Quarantine project

What started as a spreadsheet idea became a fully-featured web app listing all 97 years of Academy Award Best Picture nominees. You can filter by decade, IMDb score, running time, winners only, and whether each of us had seen, loved, or skipped it.

Josh built the backend while I kept us aligned on scope and polish. I designed the UI, built the HTML and CSS, and led feature planning, like a randomizer button for indecisive nights. Each card drops down for full details.

Movie options listed for the year 1930 are "The Broadway Melody," "Alibi," and "Hollywood Revue." User reaction icons for Josh and Alicia shown below each movie.
