 INTRODUCTION

Problem
Statement

While Netflix provides a wide range of content, users often face

decision fatigue when selecting what to watch, and they may miss
out on discovering content aligned with their interests. Additionally,
certain niche genres and underrepresented content might not receive
the attention they deserve. Addressing these challenges through a
Netflix clone presents an exciting opportunity to create a more
engaging and tailored streaming experience.

Solution Proposed

Our objective is to develop a Netflix-inspired platform that not only

offers a vast library of movies and TV shows but also introduces
innovative features to simplify content selection and enhance user
engagement. By leveraging modern technologies, we aim to create a
platform that not only provides a comprehensive content catalog but
also empowers users to discover hidden gems and connect with like-
minded viewers.
