S1lvamovies

Tech Stack

Overview

S1lvamovies was my first project built in React — a simple but functional movie browsing site inspired by platforms like Netflix. The goal was to get comfortable with React fundamentals while building something visually engaging.

Instead of a live API, the app runs entirely on a local JSON file as its database. From that data, users can browse the full catalogue, search for specific titles, filter by genre, and even request a random movie pick.

It was a foundational project that helped me understand component structure, state management, and dynamic rendering in React — all through a fun, film-themed interface.
