In fact the main reason this project exists is
a) I wrote a jupyter notebook ages ago that'd join the raw data into a queryable form.
b) I committed it and forgot about it after the initial viewing of top movies/series.
c) For the Halloween I wanted to find a good-rated horror movie, a genre I don't watch much.
d) I found my notebook but it was a drag to get it running again, first pandas would keep throwing OOM errors so I had to migrate to polars. Secondly I had to find a spare working laptop since iPad is my primary off-work computing device as of late. Finally the schema is not so intuitive - I need to look up things like region/language codes.
I want something I can just leave unattended but still be able to use a few months later without going through a dev-env set-up. A static website with all the data is one potential way of avoiding maintaining it as it should keep running, just like an exe would keep running on Windows in the past.
I avoid maintaining personal projects as my software job requires me to maintain software and I don't find it enjoyable to do the same in my spare time.
