As promised…
NO AI BULLSHIT…. needing to hook up or run local LLM's for recomendations of shit to watch...

- Fetches tailored recommendations via TMDB
- Beautiful UI (dark mode, responsive)
- One-click requests via Overseerr
- Filters by genre, country, anime, K-drama, ratings, and more

No OpenAI keys, no tokens, no serverless traps, no local LLMS
Just free, useful, self-hosted Plex tools — for people who want better recommendations based on their actual tastes, not generic trending garbage. I may add more shit to this later, if I get a weird idea.
Give it a try and tell me what sucks. PRs, stars, and feature requests welcome.
