After subjecting many friends and family to spontaneous ‘guess the movie’ sessions, it dawned on me that others might enjoy scratching this nostalgic trivia itch as well.

Inspired by Wordle and Framed, I cracked open my text editor and used ChatGPT to build out every chunk of functionality I envisioned. It’s truly amazing what you can learn and achieve with that tool.
