Overview
What the project is designed to do
A Vercel-native movie-ranking product where visitors search OMDb, build exactly five nominations, arrange them accessibly, publish an immutable snapshot, and explore shared rankings.
The draft stays in the browser and supports accessible ranking controls, an optional title, and an optional display name without accounts.
Functions keep OMDb private and use configured Upstash storage for durable public lists and shared rate limits.
Problem
What needed to change
The original MERN project needed accessible ranking, private credentials, and durable sharing without introducing accounts.
Solution
How the release responds
Use static documents, local drafts, focused functions, immutable URLs, and explicit loading, offline, error, and configuration states.
