Feel free to post problems with the app as Github Issues.

Features ideas should be posted as new GIthub Discussion.

Pull requests are welcome. Remember about leaving a comment in the relevant issue if you are working on something.

Dev Notes

The codebase has been around for a few years now and it grew a bit rusty. A few things surely could be addressed:

• Overall architecture should be simplified and refactored into a more strict feature-based one
• The single responsibility principle is broken and should be refactored in a few places like some of the Use Cases
• Retrofit could be replaced in favor of Ktor Client
• Jetpack Compose migration (although there is no real benefit of it currently from end-user point of view)
• Add more unit tests to complete the suite and increase coverage

FAQ

1. Can I watch/stream/download shows and movies with the Showly app?

No, that is not possible. Showly is a progress tracking type of app - not a streaming service.

2. I'm a user from India. I can't see any images and also encounter errors!

There is a known issue with TMDB API being blocked by India gov. For more details and a possible solution please see the thread here: https://www.themoviedb.org/talk/65d226e5c433ea0187b5b958#65d2dd5128d7fe017c34e9b5

3. The Show/Episode/Movie I'm looking for seems to be missing. What can I do?

Showly uses Trakt.tv as its main data source. If something is missing please use "Import Show" / "Import Movie" option located at the bottom of Trakt.tv website. It's also possible to contact Trakt.tv support about any related issue.
