A web application to discover and search for 1500+ Korean TV series. Built using React and Flask. All the data was taken from TMDB's API and pre-processed initially on Kaggle's notebooks.

During its development, additional publicly shared resources were created: a Kaggle dataset, and a relatively simple example regarding how to use the provided dataset to create a recommendation system.

• Research TMDB’s API and retrieve series data
• Perform data cleaning
• Create public Kaggle dataset
• Create public Kaggle notebook for a simple recommendation system
• Perform Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
• Develop responsive front-end
• Develop back-end functionality
• Implement series filtering features
• Create item-based collaborative filtering recommendation system
• Containerise and deploy the application
• Test and optimise performance
• Improve UX/UI
• Ensure compatibility with Safari and Firefox
• Research automatic scheduling of data extraction with Airflow
• Implement sign-up and sign-in features
• Migrate application from CSV to a database-based solution
• Design watch-list feature
• Create user-based collaborative filtering recommendation system
• Develop light and dark modes

• React, Flask and SCSS
• API, Sklearn and EDA
• Item-based collaborative filtering (cosine similarity)
• Docker + Heroku
