this is a "revival" commit of the appwrite almost netflix app

since the scraper is related to this app i decided to include it in almostnetflixprojectsetup folder
original project can be found here

since this is more like a showcase demo I removed signup and the users login as anonymous users

this fork is focused on performance optimization and web compatibility

• removed many notifylisteners that caused too many unecessary rebuilds
• moved future creation outside of futurebuilders (one of them was generating a rebuild loop)
• changed context.read =context.write where relevant according to provider recommendations
• reduced queries to database for watchlist logic in providers
• using getFilePreview so the app doesnt handle huge image files
• removed
  _scrollController = ScrollController() ..addListener(() { setState(() { _scrollOffset = _scrollController.offset; }); });
  in home.dart, it was causing rebuilds everytime the user scrolled down which slowed the scrolling tremendously

possible improvements:

• change scraper so it stores different image sizes according to app needs ( the app for now downloads all the hires images)

suggestion for appwrite:
I guess getFilePreview is working on client side. Would be cool to have a cloudinary like functionality on appwrite where images get resized/cached dynamically on server side according to parameters in the url of the images
