With today's news of Letterboxd being acquired by an investment company, I got to wondering if I should start weaning my movie obsession off of there and onto something more open before the inevitable enshittification begins. I did a cursory search and found nothing promising, but figured the braintrust here might know something I don't!

I suppose everyone's definition of good quality code differs but you have a point about starting from scratch and if the idea was to create a more general/modular then it might make sense.

All I can say is take a look, they've had to solve a lot of problems most variations would also need to solve but, even starting from scratch, the solutions could be brought over.

I had a shufti at the codebase, but I'm not enough of a Python dev to have an opinion.

I'm currently still planning on getting a Letterboxd sub on Black Friday, but I'd love for there to be a good open-source alternative - just not enough to code in Python to help make it happen! One is on my to-do list, but it's already several lifetimes long...

Yes, I don't know enough Python to be able to take it on but I keep an eye open for these kinds of threads and throw in some context in the hope that this time it might get enough traction.
