Inspiration
We wanted to do something with the movie database: it's huge, and no one ever thinks about the amount of data there is.
What it does
It queries the TMDB API in an efficient way to find movie descriptions based on parameters like genre, etc. and provide a more user-friendly and aesthetic interface to do so.
How we built it
We built in XCode (iOS dev using Swift). The back-end parses JSON data from the TMDB API to collect our information.
Challenges we ran into
Everything. Neither of us had coded in Swift, or used XCode, or used JSON parsing.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Aesthetics by Alex. Some parsing by Arya.
What we learned
We learned everything we did. We learned about how to create UI with Swift / XCode, and we learned about how to use an online API and query its data to present in a mobile application.
What's next for cine
Rebuild it, from the ground up? Better system management and figuring out how to integrate the back-end with the front-end in a smoother fashion.
