☁️ Inspiration
Film making students and blockbuster movie directors — what do they have in common? They both love movies, and so do we. Whether you are making the next big hit or practicing some acting with friends, TheaterCrunch will definitely help you. It is a place where all ! On top of that, we are connecting this to blockchain. As Web3 is emerging, more and more companies are turning towards it. All of our user's accounts, movies, and data is stored on the blockchain network. Each account is an ethereum key, as proof.
🚧 What It Does
This application allows you to post movies, watch movies, rate movies, review movies, add movies to your watch list, recommend movies, and much more! It allows movie enthusiasts to connect with each other from all around the world. Anyone can make and enjoy movies with our app. All the accounts are ethereum addresses, meaning that they are cryptographically unhackable.
👷 How We Built It
Using the moralis SDK, we connected all of our user's to the blockchain network. All the data is stored on the blockchain, and the files are stored using ReplitDB. We have a variety of services you can use to log in, such as MetaMask.
On the frontend we used React and the Web 3 UI Kit to build our user interface for viewing the movies, creating the movies, and publishing the movies.
👨🏾💻 Challenges We Ran Into
To say we ran into a few challenges is a HUGE understatement. In the backend, the file system API get causing errors. When we finally fixed that, the frontend was crashing because certain areas of the page were styled differently. All the different APIs we had to integrate was hard. Finally, communicating was an issue. Some of us were in different timezones, which was an issue.
🎉 Accomplishments That We're Proud Of
We actually finished the project...yay! We used many APIs and learned about Web3 a lot. Integration of so many different things was complicated, but we solved everything in the end.
📙 What We Learned
We learned a lot. In addition to a integrating many different APIs, we used Web3 and the moralis API.
🔜 What's Next For TheaterCrunch
There is a lot to improve. Firstly, we can increase our fanbase, sharing it everywhere. On top of that, we can add more information to movies and a better rating system. In all, we can improve a lot!
🌐 Domains https://movies-using-the-future-of.tech/ and https://watch-movies-with.us/
🏢 Sponsors
Twilio - With Twilio's easy to use API, we integrated a search feature in our project. You can search for movies and get a lot of information very easily. It doesn't even require network, like IMDB or other APIs do. This chatbot can help a lot of people quickly text movie information to one another, and get information on the go.
Google Cloud - Google Cloud's apps script is very cool. As google classroom is a major part of everyone student's life, we made a script to post movie information, by their name, inside a classroom. This can help with research assignments, getting information out, and RSVPs!
Domain.com and GoDaddy - With their easy to use web interface, we were easily able to purchase the domain of our choice. The domains we picked matched our project a lot, and we are very satisfied!
