Share Subscriptions Web Application

This is a tool built in the React framework to help you manage, calculate and add the costs of your monthly subscriptions.

Digital subscriptions are ubiqitous. So is overpaying for them while a friend has one you need. Why not take advantage of 'friends and family' sharing policies of such services? Sharesub is the solution to this problem.

It is:

  1. A site to share information with friends about which subscriptions you have and they do not.
  2. A portal service to share the latest hot TV show or movie (sort by relevance and topical).
  3. A cost calculator to figure out how much you are spending per month.

The cost calculator is a web scraper from the various subscription websites: Netflix, HBO, Disney Plus.
