SCSDB
A Netflix-inspired movie database application built as part of my MERN stack journey at Sheryians Coding School. This project fetches and displays detailed movie information from external APIs, delivering a sleek, user-friendly interface.
Core Features
Fetches and displays movies with details like title, poster, and ratings.
Allows users to search for movies by title.
Responsive Design
Optimized for both desktop and mobile devices.
Netflix-style card-based layout with hover effects.
Challenges Faced
Integrating the TMDb API was tricky, especially managing rate limits while fetching large movie datasets. Optimizing image loading for a Netflix-style card layout tested my performance tuning skills under tight constraints. Handling dynamic search functionality required me to refine my JavaScript filtering logic on the fly. Ensuring responsiveness across devices with Tailwind CSS involved countless viewport adjustments.
Future Plans
I plan to add AI-based movie recommendations tailored to user preferences for a personalized experience. Developing a watchlist feature will let users save favorites for later. I’d love to integrate video trailers directly from TMDb for a richer UI. My vision is to evolve this into a full-fledged streaming app with user-generated content sections.
