Movie Library

Description

Duration 2 weeks

The project was to create an app where you could add movies from your collection and filter them by genre. With digital purchases being all over the place, sometimes you forget that you might have a movie when you're looking for something to watch. This allows you to add movies to your current library and sort by genre. Current iteration just adds it with a description, movie poster, and genres. A long-term goal would be able to link current subscriptions to the app so you can auto-load purchases with a direct link to its location.
