Oscars Pool 2026

Little nodejs + mongodb app that I hack together with ChatGPT to keep track of watched movies for an incoming Oscars Pool with some friends. App is not secure, using old html standard and is not the most responsive but does the job.

Would probably need to revamp everything, but didn't want to spend more time on it.

Setup

Config those in your .env file:

DOG_NAMES=woof, WOOF, Woof     (for "verification")
GITHUB_OWNER=quoije     (for version history)
GITHUB_REPO=oscars-pool     (for version history)
JWT_SECRET=RANDOM STRING     (for authentication token)
MONGO_URI=mongodb+srv://USER:[email protected]/?retryWrites=true&w=majority&appName=Cluster69
OMDB_API=1234567     (for movie info)

run with node .\index.js
