# WatchIt

WatchIt decentralizes the way you watch your movies. It employs a "collective entertainment methodology" where each user consumes movies from the network and simultaneously shares movies with other users.

### Overview

WatchIt is a movie playback system that allows users to filter, search, and play movies. To decentralize our movies so that everyone can have access to them, we employ incredible tools such as [Helia](https://github.com/ipfs/helia) and [Kubo](https://github.com/ipfs/kubo), which enables us to create a decentralized platform. In simple terms, WatchIt is an application that does not rely on external resources; instead, everyone contributes to its functionality.

## Features

- **Decentralized Movie Sharing:** Users share movies with each other, ensuring a robust and distributed network.

- **Movie Filtering and Searching:** Efficiently find and filter movies based on various criteria.

- **Seamless Playback:** Stream movies directly from the network without any centralized servers.
