The developer here. Moreso it's a vacation project. I started it after the Netflix redesign and put it down until two weeks ago when I was motivated to finish. I woke up and saw the Netflix Prize article on HN, and thought it was an interesting foil. It contains absolutely no elements of the recommendation system - relying on search speed as the main benefit. Edit: grammar.

Really Cool. What did you build it with?

  Thanks, I wrote the backend in Django - but most of the heavy lifting is javascript. Django more or less is just populated by a cronjob and then caches the results of the Netflix odata API.
