About Footnote
Footnote is a solo passion project. I built it because I got tired of maintaining four separate accounts (one each for movies, TV, books, and games) just to track what I'd watched, read, and played. None of them talked to each other, and sharing taste with friends meant sending links across four different apps.
I wanted one place to log everything, build up a real picture of my taste over time, and share it with the people I actually talk to about this stuff. That's Footnote.

- TMDB: movie and TV metadata. This product uses the TMDB API but is not endorsed or certified by TMDB.
- IGDB: game data, provided via Twitch.
- Open Library: book data, provided by the Internet Archive.
