Animadom is a full-stack anime and manga tracking platform inspired by MyAnimeList. Users can browse catalogs, manage watchlists and readlists, rate content, and customize their profiles — all backed by a custom Node.js/MongoDB API and the Jikan API.
Building a full-stack platform that mirrors the complexity of MyAnimeList while keeping the UX modern and fast. The key challenge was designing a scalable MongoDB schema for user lists and integrating the Jikan API efficiently without hitting rate limits.
Shipped a complete MERN stack application with JWT authentication, real-time watchlist updates via React Query, and smooth Framer Motion animations. The platform handles anime and manga catalogs, user reviews, and profile customization in a cohesive experience.
