Plot twist: This was actually my first project ever, even before the resume builder! π
There was no big serious plan behind this. I just had some free time to kill (pure time pass), and I wanted to figure out how to fetch data from an API.
So I made this live NASA space picture viewer. Whenever my code failed and gave weird bugs, I just pretended it was an alien problem. π
My hands still shake a little bit before hitting the post button, but I'm trying to share more. Please give some honest feedback or simple tips for a first-year student!
TMDB Movie Explorer : Responsive Movie Discovery Web App
Preview description : A responsive movie discovery website built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, and the TMDB API.
Project Overview : I built a responsive movie discovery website inspired by modern movie streaming and discovery platforms. The project uses the TMDB API to fetch real movie data and display dynamic search results, movie cards, and detailed movie information.
The goal was to practice building a real-world frontend application that works with an external API while keeping the interface clean, responsive, and easy to navigate.
What I Built :
Dynamic movie search using the TMDB API
Movie cards with posters, titles, ratings, and release information
What I Learned : This project helped me improve my understanding of working with REST APIs, handling dynamic data with JavaScript, building responsive layouts, and creating multiple pages that work together as a complete web application.
I also focused on improving the mobile experience and organizing the project so that the UI remains simple and easy to use across different screen sizes.
