I built a completely free and ad-free alternative to Movie Trackers (like Letterboxd, TV Time, etc.)

Hi everyone! I'm an Italian indie developer and I wanted to share a project I'm working on, hoping to get some feedback.

As a huge movie fan, I used apps like CineTrak for years, until they started imposing limits on lists. I also tried other popular trackers (TV Time, Letterboxd, IMDb), but I couldn't find the perfect app for my needs. So, over the last year, I decided to build my own personal alternative from scratch and make it public and completely free for everyone.

It's called StarFlicks. It has no ads, allows unlimited lists (Watchlist and Watched), detailed stats and advanced filters, rankings based on global community votes, and personal rankings created automatically based on your ratings with titles grouped by Sagas and Universes, along with upcoming releases and multi-language support (English and Italian).

Under the hood:

I built the entire architecture using Django (DRF) for the backend, Next.js for the web, and Expo for the Android app, all containerized with Docker.

Currently, it's available on Web (Desktop) and Android. Why not iOS yet? Since this is a completely free, non-profit project, I've decided to hold off on the Apple Developer account fees for now. However, I will be releasing a fully optimized PWA soon for iPhone users!

I recently added StarFlicks to the Product Hunt launch page, and I would be incredibly grateful if you could check it out. Any feedback and support would help me immensely.
