The Later List

Concept and Motivation

The concept of our app originated from the hustle and bustle in everyday life and not always having the time to take a friend’s recommendation for a new movie, tv show, or podcast.

With our app, “The Later List”, users will be able to search for recommended podcasts, tv shows, or movies and save them to your list for when you have time later.

Using the App

When you first start using "The Later List" you start on the home page where you have the options to SEARCH or LOGIN. You aren't required to login in order to utilize the search function, however if you are logged in then you'll be able to take advantage of the MY LIST feature where you can store your saved recommendations for when you have more time or you need something new to listen to or watch.

Design Process

  • Built LaterListdb in MySQL
    • Store users name, email, password, register date, and saved searches.
  • Used Sequelize.js library to put user data into SQL database
    • And vice versa, sequelize enables the app to recognize when a client is a registered user and populates user data.
  • Installed Node to provide server for our app
    • Used .gitignore to hide node_modules.
  • Installed Express to listen to users requests
  • Utilized iTunes API to get data for podcasts
    • Used “GET” method to get artwork, trackID, collectionName (name of podcast), artistName (name of host(s)), and kind (assigns podcast category) from our response. Used .post to save user’s selection to their list.
  • Material Design Lite provided framework for UI
    • New library to complete a polished frontend/UI.
