Overview
muvees is a movie and TV discovery application powered by The Movie Database (TMDB). It supports browsing, search, genres, detail pages, cast information, ratings, synopses, and images.
Why I Built This
I wanted to experiment with API integration and data-fetching patterns in Next.js. The project provided a practical way to build a browsing experience around an external media catalog.
