+
+CineMatch is a collaborative movie discovery application designed to solve the common dilemma of choosing what to watch. By leveraging a swipe-based interface, it streamlines the decision-making process for couples, friends, groups, etc.
+
+## Overview
+
+CineMatch allows users to connect with a partner and independently curate a list of movies they are interested in watching. The application compares these preferences in real-time to identify common interests.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- Browse through a curated catalog of movies with a simple swipe mechanism: swipe right to "like" and left to "pass".
+- Receive notifications when you and your partner both like the same movie.
+- View trailers, ratings, and synopses of movies (using IMDB database).
+- Keep track of your matches and mark them as watched.
+
+## How It Works
+
+1. Link your account with your partner's using a unique code.
+2. Browse movies individually at your own pace.
+3. When a mutual match occurs, the movie is added to your shared "To Watch" list.
