Kumanime was built to solve the problem of intrusive ads on common streaming sites. It serves as a custom frontend client that consumes the Otakudesu API to fetch anime lists, episode details, and video streams. The project focuses heavily on UX/UI, utilizing React and TailwindCSS to create a responsive, Netflix-like interface. It filters out external banner ads from the source, delivering only the necessary content to the user. Features include a fuzzy search algorithm for finding titles, watch history tracking using local storage, and an optimized video player wrapper.
