|
summary.faq__question This website is so basic!
|
||
|
|
p.faq__answer Yes, it is! I don't think a website that shows you some quick info of something needs to be overly fancy.

||
|
|

|
||
|
|
summary.faq__question This website is slow.
|
||
|
|
p.faq__answer Whenever you request info about a movie/show on libremdb, 4 trips are made(2 between your browser and libremdb's server, and 2 between libremdb's server and IMDb's server) instead of the usual 2 trips when you visit a website. For this reason there's a noticable delay. This is a bit of inconvenience you'll have to face should you wish to use this website.

|
summary.faq__question It doesn't have all routes.
|
||
|
|
p.faq__answer I think most of the people just check IMDb to get a quick glimpse of a movie/show. That's why there is just one route for now. However, I will try to implement other important routes if time allows. More info on

|
|
summary.faq__question Why is libremdb connecting to m.media-amazon.com?
|
||
|
|
p.faq__answer For now, images are directly served from amazon. If I have enough time in the future, I'll implement a way to serve the images from libremdb instead.

||
|
|
details.faq
|
||
|
|
summary.faq__question Will amazon track me then?
|
||
|
|
p.faq__answer They may log your IP address. I'd recommend using a VPN for mitigating this risk.
|
||
|
|
details.faq
|
||
|
|
summary.faq__question Why not just use IMDb?
|
||
|
|
p.faq__answer Refer to the
|
||
|
|
a.faq__link(href='#features') features section
|
||
|
|
| above.
|
||
|
|
details.faq
|
||
|
|
summary.faq__question Why didn't you use other databases like
|
||
|
|
a.faq__link(href="https://www.themoviedb.org/") TMDB
|
||
|
|
| or
|
||
|
|
a.faq__link(href="https://www.omdbapi.com/") OMDb
|
||
|
|
| ?
|
||
|
|
p.faq__answer IMDb simply has superior dataset compared to all other alternatives. With that being said, I'd encourage you to check out those alternatives too.

summary.faq__question Why did you deploy it on heroku? Why not just buy your own domain name?

p.faq__answer It's just a proof-of-concept for now. However, if you'd like to do so, you are very welcome.
