Fun project anybody (Node+Electron+REACT)

Due to coronavirus, most of us are stuck at home.

So other than WFH that I'm currently doing for my software development company, I'm on a learning path for Node and REACTJs. I have 1 year experience in Django and Python side of things while development of web applications. So, figured why not learn and make something for fun.

I'm trying to build this Electron+REACTJs based desktop application that will accept folder path from user and then scan it for all the video files, make an internet search (OMDB) to find some of it's metadata like poster and year etc. based on the file name, and construct a thumbnail kind of card for each such file.

On clicking the thumbnail, it simply will execute a shell command to play that file on the system.

No monetary motivations, just something for fun.

I have named it 'ToTiredToBrowse' for now.

If anybody's interested in developing something like this and have some spare time to kill, feel free to connect by replying to this thread.
