Watchly: Web App for Discovering

Watchly: Web App for Discovering & Streaming Free Movies via Third-Party Servers

Project Overview & Use Context Watchly is a web application built for movie and TV show enthusiasts, offering a clean, custom-designed interface for browsing and discovering content. Its core feature lets users watch movies through third-party servers that host and stream films for free, giving users multiple viewing source options for the same title without relying on a single provider.

Development Approach & Architecture For the interface, I built Watchly with Flutter, delivering a fast, responsive, and visually polished web experience with a fully custom UI rather than relying on generic templates. Movie data (titles, posters, ratings, descriptions, cast info) is pulled from the IMDb API, ensuring users always have accurate, up-to-date information on the content they browse. The app then aggregates and links to third-party streaming servers, allowing users to pick their preferred source and start watching directly.
