TVDom is a Netflix-inspired entertainment discovery platform built with SvelteKit and powered by the TMDB API. It covers movies, TV shows, and celebrities with rich detail pages, social features, and a dark-mode-first design.
Building a Netflix-quality entertainment discovery platform that handles massive TMDB datasets while keeping the UI snappy and visually rich. The challenge was server-side rendering all content for SEO while keeping API keys secure and managing complex relational data like cast, crew, and filmographies.
Delivered a fully SSR-powered SvelteKit app with a custom purple OKLCH theme, horizontal scrollable carousels, and a complete social layer backed by Appwrite. Users can rate, review, maintain watchlists, and follow each other — all in real time.
