A couple notes regarding the GitHub repo.
First, adding a `.gitignore` with at least the following:
.*.swp *.swp
Second, committing the generated `gem` artifacts is not a good practice. Either publish[0] it or let those who use it build and distribute it themselves.
0 - https://guides.rubygems.org/publishing/
It would be great to have an ability to browse all the imdb movies/tv series, not just top 250 - but I like the direction :)
Cool project. I've been using this IMDB interface and really like its simplicity: https://github.com/zyachel/libremdb
IMDB Virtual Terminal Browser. I was hoping for a console browser.
How does this access the IMDB api? I thought amazon had some pretty extreme pricing tiers for that.
it doesn't. it uses https://www.themoviedb.org/ and not imdb
It uses both.
It scrapes.
This could be cool. I'm recently scouring lists looking for sleepers made 1930s-1980s.
Das Testament des Dr. Mabuse, if you haven't seen it yet.
It's cool.
off-topic but why is there a vim swap file in the repo? https://github.com/isene/IMDB/blob/main/.imdb.swp
