I made an MVP of an iOS Client app for NeoDB(https://neodb.net), I am opening the public tests of the app through testFlight.
App Beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/WmbnP9Vx

Is it free and open source?
@demesisx It is free, and will be open source when I organize some of the code
Let us know when it is. I won’t help test it nor tell anyone about it until it is.
@demesisx Sure, no problem
What is it? IMDB for Japanese films and series?
@DieserTypMatthias NeoDB started with some chinese instances, but “https://eggplant.place” is the global instance, you can also try “https://reviewDB.app” which is focused on english speakers.
It is a place to rate/review things that you like(movies,series,books,podcasts…), and want to share on the fediverse
@nunesdennis @DieserTypMatthias Or just use their flagship neodb.social instance looking at some mandarin won’t kill
!neodb@lemmy.zip is pretty much an everything database, so you can feed in films, TV, books, comics, music, etc and it can replace all the separate databases that have largely been bought up by Big Tech (often Amazon), like IMDb, Goodreads, etc.
It’s originally Chinese, so English language reviews are thinner on the ground at the moment but a lot of people are enthusiastic about it and I am hopefully it’ll soon take off.
NeoDB itself is a clone of Bangumi, a Chinese media tracker site.
Bangumi mainly focuses on ACG culture (similar to anime-manga but not Japanese centric), combining movie, TV series, music, games, animation, and comic.
