Been working on this for a few months. ELI6 Movies is a full-stack streaming webapp:

  • Frontend: vanilla JS + CSS on Vercel (no framework, no build step)
  • Backend: Node.js + Express + MongoDB on Render
  • Auth: JWT with per-device session revocation
  • Email: password reset + verification via Resend (native fetch, zero new deps)
  • Analytics: custom dashboard — page views, geo, devices, live sessions
  • No ads, no paywall, no account needed to browse
