I’m an unemployed software developer with some time to make things I’ve wanted to exist.
I just released a web app that lets you log in with your Plex account which imports the movies available in your library, create a voting session, and invite friends to vote on movies. When a movie gets votes from all your friends in the session, it is declared the winner and the session creator will get a link to open the movie in Plex.
I was tired of endlessly scrolling through my movie library whenever it was time to pick a movie. I think this will help.
Here are some screenshots
Check it out if you like the idea. You can reply here or DM if you run into any issues or have any ideas.
Some of my ideas for the next features to add:
- Filter by watched/unwatched
- Select genres for the voting session
- Make popcorn
You must log in or register to comment.
The project is open source and the repository is here: https://github.com/wheresfrank/voterr
Very cool. Much better than what I do with my friends, which is post a message on Discord saying “🥊 react for movie A, 🐱 react for movie B, etc.”
The filter by watched/unwatched feature got fast-tracked after my wife was complaining about having to vote on movies we already watched. 😅 It is live now.
Very cool nice work :)
Looks neat! I didn’t see Docker install instructions or even a link to the image on a registry, yet there is a Dockerfile. Do you support Docker-based self hosting?
