• Interactive UI: Hover effects and clickable posters for an engaging user experience.
• Video Playback: Plays trailers via YouTube integration when you click on a movie poster.
• Responsive Design: Optimized to work seamlessly on different devices and screen sizes.

Technologies Used

• React: For building the user interface.
• Vite: For a fast development environment and optimized production builds.
• Axios: To handle API requests.
• TMDB API: To fetch movie and TV show data.
• YouTube API: To play movie trailers.
