Show HN: OSS Next.js 13 app to find great movies

  Cool 2D dissolve effect generator

Hey HN,

I built next-movie for two reasons:

1. To scratch my own itch and experiment with Next.js 13's new appDir architecture based around react server components

2. To build a better experience for finding great movies

I definitely accomplished #1 and #2 is a WIP.

Currently, you can filter / sort by IMDB rating, Rotten Tomatoes scores, genre, and more. All movies include the best official trailer on YouTube according to a heuristic, and you can view search results by 3 different layouts: Grid (netflix-style), List, and Single.

Single-movie view is for people like myself who are tired of looking at endless feeds... it will give you a single movie matching your search at a time, with a big "Next Movie" button to cycle through the results one-at-a-time.

The algo to pick the next movie is actually really interesting.. it uses a 2D dissolve effect to traverse the search space (with a random offset generated client-side), making it so you cycle through movies seemingly at random but without duplicates.

The app is open source on GitHub here: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/next-movie

Cheers,
