What is Anime Browser?

I started building Anime Browser because I couldn't find an anime browsing tool that felt intuitive, modern, and genuinely pleasant to use. So I decided to create the experience I wanted: fast, clean, and easy to navigate.

The app focuses on the core journey of discovering shows, advanced filtering and sorting, reading useful details about shows and characters, and bookmarking your favorite shows to keep track of what you want to watch.

My Role

Anime Browser is a personal hobby project that I designed and built end‑to‑end. The idea was to create a clean, responsive, and fast experience for discovering anime, exploring details, and keeping track of shows you care about. It's a modern alternative to existing directories.

My main contributions:
  • Designed the UI/UX and component system using Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui for a consistent, accessible interface
  • Implemented list and detail pages with efficient querying and practical pagination and sorting for smooth browsing
  • Modelled data and connected the app to MongoDB, adding simple APIs for reading and writing user‑facing entities

Technologies Used

Workflow

I worked solo and iteratively. I scoped small milestones, kept a lightweight Kanban of tasks, and moved quickly between rough Figma sketches and coding. I optimized for quick feedback loops: build the core flow first, refine the visuals, and then add quality-of-life features like sorting, pagination, and better empty/loading states. Each iteration ended with mobile testing and a small deployment to keep progress visible.
