Film To See
Android app for collaborative movie picking, with shared groups, voting, chat, IMDb metadata, and coverflow-based browsing.
Film To See started from a simple problem, but the implementation was more ambitious than the usual university toy app: organize users into groups, build a shared list of candidate films, let people vote, and give the group a live space to converge on what to watch.
The Android client was written in Java and used a custom backend API with OkHttp for group membership, chat, and voting flows. The UI combined Material Design patterns with a coverflow-style movie browser, IMDb-linked metadata, autocomplete search, group management screens, and per-film like/dislike interactions inside each group.
It was already trying to solve a real coordination problem rather than just display a list: shared state, voting, chat, and richer browsing all had to fit inside one mobile experience.
