Movie rating higher/lower game built with Next.js.

Getting Started

First, run the development server:

npm run dev
# or
yarn dev
# or
pnpm dev
# or
bun dev

Open http://localhost:3000 with your browser to see the result.

Data Ingestion

The game uses a local JSON snapshot at data/movies.json. Generate it from IMDb + TMDB:

TMDB_API_KEY=your_key npm run ingest:imdb -- --output data/movies.json

To cache posters in Vercel Blob (recommended for production), set the Blob token and CDN base:

TMDB_API_KEY=your_key \
BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN=your_blob_token \
POSTER_CDN_BASE=https://your-store.public.blob.vercel-storage.com \
npm run ingest:imdb -- --cache-posters --sizes w500,w780 --output data/movies.json

For on-demand poster caching via /api/poster, the runtime also needs:

BLOB_READ_WRITE_TOKEN=your_blob_token
POSTER_CDN_BASE=https://your-store.public.blob.vercel-storage.com

Poster caching uses deterministic object keys based on movie id + title.

You can start editing the page by modifying app/page.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

This project uses next/font to load Cinzel and Source Sans 3.
