Tv Show Recommender

The primary goal of the website is to fetch the users completed tv shows from the Anilist api, allow the user to change ratings/delete shows, then recommend tv shows based off of their completed tv shows and ratings. All of the tv shows and recommendations are stored in a MongoDB database and tied to the users account.
