A-List Tracker

A private Go web app for tracking which Letterboxd diary entries used AMC A-List.

It provides separate user accounts, persistent RSS history, Letterboxd export imports, duplicate detection, editable classifications, membership periods, and per-account backup and reset.

Run locally

Requires Go 1.21+ and PostgreSQL. Set a pooled database connection and start the server:

export POSTGRES_URL='postgresql://...'
go run .

Open http://localhost:3000. Database migrations run automatically.

Deploy

Connect a Neon database to the Vercel project and ensure POSTGRES_URL or DATABASE_URL is available in the Production environment. Vercel serves the Go application from main.go without a custom build command.

Create a user's one-time setup link from a trusted terminal:

go run ./cmd/accounts invite \
  --base-url https://your-project.vercel.app \
  person@example.com

The terminal must have POSTGRES_URL or DATABASE_URL set to the same Neon database. Other account commands are available with:

go run ./cmd/accounts

Importing history

In the app, add an AMC membership period, then upload a Letterboxd export ZIP or diary.csv from Data. The preview excludes entries outside the membership period and avoids duplicates from imports or RSS syncs.
