Previously - Movies and TV Tracking App

Overview

Previously is a watch-tracking application designed to pull external content, present it clearly, and let users follow their progress. The project gave me a strong practical case for building a complete product around a third-party API.

Context

I wanted to build a daily-use experience with a clear flow between discovery, browsing, and tracking. The main challenge came from making the external integration reliable and keeping data coherent across frontend and backend.

What I built

• A Vue.js interface for browsing and tracking.
• BetaSeries integration for catalog and metadata.
• A FastAPI backend in Python for business logic.
• An application structure designed for readability and regular usage.

Technical choices

The Vue.js + FastAPI combination gave me a lightweight interface and an explicit backend structure. It was a strong setup to work on separation of concerns, third-party integration, and clean frontend/backend communication.

Results & Progression

Previously helped me improve on two key topics: API integration and application data consistency. It strengthened my ability to debug cross-stack issues and stabilize a product that depends on an external service.

What this project demonstrates

This project shows my ability to deliver a full-stack application focused on actual usage, with external integration, structured backend logic, and a clear interface. It is a solid proof of progression in integration work, debugging, and application robustness.
