Letterboxd Random

Overview

A small live tool that solves a personal problem: too many films in the Letterboxd watchlist, decision paralysis on a Tuesday night. Paste your username, get a random pick.

How it works

• Cloudflare Worker scrapes the public Letterboxd watchlist HTML
• Picks a random entry
• Renders a clean card with title, year, and the Letterboxd link

Why it's here

It's not the most technically interesting thing I've built, but it is the one I use the most. It's deployed, it stays up, and it taught me Cloudflare Workers — which turn out to be the right answer for a lot of small tools.

Stack

• Cloudflare Workers (free tier)
• HTML / vanilla JS for the UI
• Wrangler for deploys
