Introduction

You see the 'P2EM' in the Logo above?

P2EM refers to "Plan to Embarass Myself"

To understand the background story, read my article, * How I Plan to Embarass Myself ...

Hey, read it :)


What does this do?

If you read the article above, you should get a sense of what this is about.

This web app, which I call the Oldies Recommender, will recommend old movies you'll love - based on your rating of a few movies.


Where can I try this out?

There you go 👉 The Oldies Recommender

How do I run the app locally?

Yeah, I've got your back.

  1. Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/ohansemmanuel/oldies-recommender.git
  1. Create a .env file
cd recommender-service
touch .env
  1. The env file requires 1 important variable
REACT_APP_API_URL="..."

Technically, you should replace this with an instance url of the ML recommender service. Please see the service's README to set it up - if you must :)

Something like this should do:

REACT_APP_API_URL=http://localhost:5000
  1. Install the app dependencies
npm install
  1. Enjoy!
npm start

Does this explanation suck?

If you have issues setting this up, I'll be happy to help.

Catch you later! 👊
