Hi guys,
I am developing a movie recommendation app, this is my first and only project. I wrote my first code nearly two years ago. Learning and working is no problem for me. However, there are some things that I can not do it alone. I need critics, feedbacks and suggestions. I will really appreciate. Thanks a lot.
Great idea. My biggest problem would be how to get my movies and thoughts in it. So if I watch a movie on my Fire TV - how can I add it with my thumbs up/down to the service? Do I have to open the webpage? Or can you import my Netflix rating in any way? Possibly via any browser plugin and page crawling or something like that? 🤔
So for me a service like this would fail or success by it's ability to integrate into the already existing process and not requiring me to do extra work. And all the different devices/OSs will make this super difficult I bet!?
I think the easiest would be an app that opens the movie in the available Netflix, Amazon prime or whatever streaming app where I can select to stream it to Chromecast, fire TV or whatever!? Or at least the ability to install the webpage as PWA.
That's just general feedback - haven't tested the service itself yet.
Thanks a lot for your very useful feedbacks. Design was a headache for me because I'm more analytical person, but now I am warming to that. Actually your feedbacks are what I need. Thanks again.
A recommendation from me as a backend only dev.
First of all, thanks for your reply. I'm actually thinking to hire a designer in the future. It is clear that doing the design by myself will not be a professional work. Before this version, I used many frameworks, and themes, but they don't perfectly fit in every case. in these specific cases, I should have wrote many parts from scratch and I've decided to make things by myself to do so I've learned many skills. I will also consider your suggestions. Thanks.

Oh Great, Thanks for your work. It's clear that your Icon selections are better. I will change them.I think it is not a time for changing all frontend, too much work, focus on marketing / dev things but you can make couple tweaks to make your website a bit better, look at this for example, I only changed icons and made text gray:
Upload and share screenshots and images - print screen online | Snipboard.io
Easy and free screenshot and image sharing - upload images online with print screen and paste, or drag and drop.
On the topic of quick easy design amends I’d also remove the justified text and just have it left aligned on those features. Justified often looks strange on web!
Great. You are right, justified text looks good in documents. I am going to change it as soon as possible. Thanks.
@canburaks why do you need name and username for an account? 🤔
For a recommendation platform this seems pretty useless. As a user I expect a user to server only communication. Possibly user to user via comments.
In both cases a real name isn't necessary and shouldn't be requested during registration!?
You should reduce the information you collect to the absolute minimum. Requesting too much will scare customers and increases your work to protect them and follow all GDPR requirements for all of them.
