What is fameboxd?

Fameboxd is a directory of famous people who actively use Letterboxd, the social platform for logging and reviewing films. The project covers actors, directors, musicians, and online creators, giving you a single place to find out whether someone notable shares their movie watching habits publicly. The core idea is simple: instead of hunting around to see if a favorite director logs their rewatches, or wondering which YouTubers are serious film fans, you can browse this curated list. Each entry links directly to the person's verified Letterboxd profile. You can also filter the directory by what someone is known for, so you can narrow things down to just filmmakers, just musicians, or just creators. The list is hand-curated and verified, meaning someone has checked that these accounts are genuine and public. The README does not go into detail about how many people are currently listed or how frequently new entries are added. It also does not describe any process for submitting suggestions, though that may exist elsewhere. Built with Astro, the project runs as a standard website. To run it locally, you need Node.js version 22.12 or newer. The setup involves two steps: installing dependencies with npm install and starting a local preview with npm run dev, which serves the site at localhost:4321. The README does not mention deployment instructions, hosting configuration, or build steps beyond the local development server. The README is short and focused, covering the project's purpose and basic setup without additional detail about architecture, data format, or contribution guidelines.
