Roadmap

We have too many ideas about what to code next for Filmaster and we usually just do hundred things at a time with no planning whatsoever. That's why we came up with the Roadmap. Basically, the Roadmap is supposed to make Filmaster look like an organized and fully professional project.

So, here we are...

Implemented features:

  • working recommendation engine
  • movie blogs for users (in subdomains like user.filmaster.com)

  • discussion forum for each film/person + general forums
  • movie collections (my movies, wishlist, shitlist)
  • movie rankings in different categiries (general, screenplay, cinematography, etc)
  • tagging
  • similar movies (based on tags, director, votes)
