Inspiration

I've always struggled to select a movie to watch and scrolled on Netflix only get more confused. CineSuggest is an attempt to make selecting movies for me and people like me easier.

What it does

CineSuggest suggests latest movies from a particular genre and fetch information related to any movie through the search option.

How I built it

It is made using react.js and deployed on Firebase. I used IMDb data API to get genres list, search for movies by genre and by year and name.

Challenges I ran into

Handling so many API calls and the functioning of the app after each API call was hectic.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The app turned out to look like how I designed it first, I have taken care of the smallest of things that affect the user experience. I'm super proud of myself as this is the best react build of mine so far.

What we learned

Managing components, conditional rendering.

What's next for CineSuggest

In near future I'd like to add an option for users to sign in to the app and add movies to their watchlist and share their watchlist with their friends.
