Popcorn Vote is a free and open-source web app that settles family movie night without a group chat excavation. Everyone brings a film, receives votes on the same schedule, and can save, spend, or move them before the big decision. The top film wins; an animated wheel breaks deadlocks.

Popcorn Vote — a self-hosted family movie-night voting app I built a small web app to settle what’s on tonight without excavating a group chat. Everyone brings a film and gets the same number of votes. Save them, spend them, or switch sides before movie night. If the leaders are tied, the wheel makes the final call. Afterwards, watched films and ratings stay in a shared archive. • Single Docker container • SQLite, no separate database • linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 • Mobile-first PWA with TV view • Nine interface languages • MIT licensed Website: https://popcornvote.org Demo: https://demo.popcornvote.org Source: https://github.com/Stadicus/popcorn-vote
