  1. Films, series, books and radio on one screen

    Cinematura was developed as a personal project to connect and synchronise several external APIs in a single environment. Built on the Laravel framework, the application focuses on correct real-time data processing, a stable backend and clean, fast navigation for the user, with full multilingual support and a light/dark mode switch.

    Every director, actor and crew member has their own page, showing their biography together with all the films and series they have worked on.

  13. The world of radio in three dimensions

    A three-dimensional globe with live radio stations from all over the world. You can rotate it, zoom in on any country and listen to the stream through a player that keeps playing as you browse the application.

  15. And the part you don’t see

    Behind the application runs an API in Laravel 12 and PHP 8.4 that talks in real time to the TMDB and Radio Browser APIs. On the frontend I used Tailwind CSS 4, Alpine.js and Turbo for instant navigation without page reloads, so the radio player keeps playing as you browse. The 3D globe is based on D3.js and TopoJSON, while the book reader runs locally with EPUB.js.
