Cinemap
Cinemap answers the three questions of a film night: what's on near us tonight, is it any good, and who's coming? A private app, built for a small group of friends.
/* What it is */
A phone-first app for choosing a film with friends. It shows tonight's showings nearest first, then turns one of them into a plan people can say yes to.
/* What I built */
The whole product: an installable web app that works offline from saved data, with every screen in English and Japanese, a map, a Coming Soon list and a club layer of accounts, pins, ratings, plans and alerts. The popcorn mascot has its own library of fifteen animated emotions.
Feature highlights
Feature 1
/* Tonight */
Every showing left today, by film or by cinema, nearest first with a rough drive time. Each one carries a badge for how it plays (English audio, English subtitles, dubbed or Japanese only) and a dot for how many seats remain. Tapping it opens the details and a Book button.
Feature 2
/* Map and Coming Soon */
A map plots nearby cinemas, and each pin shows its next showings. Coming Soon lists what opens over the next few months, and a pinned film moves into the listings once cinemas have it.
Feature 3
/* Clubs and plans */
Friends join a club by invite link. One member adds a showing to a plan, the others vote I'm In or I'm Out, and the plan shows who's coming until everyone is in. Plans export to a calendar, and pins, film and cinema ratings and push alerts keep the club going between nights out.
/* Where it is */
In use by a small group of friends. Cinemap is private and isn't open to the public. The films, cinemas, times and people in these images are invented for this page.
