Jordflix

A Project That Grew With Me

Jordflix started as a joke between friends. The name combined my old nickname, “Nasjord,” with “flix.” What began as a fun movie site became one of the first projects I kept returning to as I learned more about web development.

My friends and I actually used it. We would join a Microsoft Teams call, stream the site, and watch movies together. That made Jordflix more than a portfolio exercise — it had a real audience, even if that audience started with a small group of friends.

Why I Rebuilt It

I have rebuilt and rebranded Jordflix several times. Each version exposed things I would approach differently today, especially around mobile use, browsing large catalogs, search, filtering, pagination, series navigation, playback, and discoverability.

Rather than abandoning an early project because the code or design became dated, I used it as a benchmark for how my judgment had changed.

The Product Experience

The current version focuses on helping people move quickly from discovery to playback. Movies and series can be browsed, searched, filtered, and explored with season and episode navigation, while external movie data keeps the catalog useful without manually maintaining every title.

What This Project Demonstrates

Jordflix is a visible record of iteration. It shows that I am willing to revisit something I built earlier, recognize what no longer works, and rebuild it with better product decisions rather than treating the first finished version as permanent.
