# Planning your app

App - Movie Log

## 1. Who will use your app? (Who is your app's target user?)
This is an app for people who want to track of movies they have watched, specifically me. I expect users to host this app on their own computer for their own use. The app will not support multiple users.

## 2. What need or problem will your app solve? How do you know this is really a need for your target user? How does the target user currently deal with the problem?
Problem - Forgetting movies watched

I have three main goals for this app:

1. Collect movies watched
2. Store notes about the movies such as ranking
3. Limit time scrolling to find a new movie to watch


Honestly, I'm creating this app for myself, so I'm not worried about whether it meets other people's needs. The main alternative to this app is searching for movies watched online thorugh histroy, which is time consuming where having a log of movies watched and the rating on the movies can help me pick a new movie I want to watch quickly. 


## 3. How will your app's design meet the need you have identified?

Add movies with title and genre, mark movies as watched, want to watch or watching, give each movie a personal ranking and write notes on the movie. Support search for movies by title or genre. 


## 4. How could your app possibly cause harm? (For example, could someone get hurt if data leaked or if someone used the app inappropriately?) What steps will you take to ensure that nobody is harmed by your app?

This app is unlikely to cause harm. Because the app is only intended for an individual user on their own computer, we don't have to worry about abuse from other users. There is no issue with violating the copyright of movies as it is just the title and genre rather than streaming the movie.
