Popcorn Saver Client

Popcorn Saver is a movie recommendation web application developed as a project for 2IMW15: Web Information Retrieval and Data Mining, during the first quartile of the 2015/2016 academic year at TU Eindhoven. It was developed using the Movielens 100K dataset.

This code corresponds to the web client, which provides a single page GUI that consumes services exposed by the other components. Therefore, the server and recommender modules should be running for it to be fully functional.
