||
| ### Reflection | ||
|
|
||
| * Did the topics discussed in your labs prepare you to complete the assignment? Be specific, which features in your weekly assignment did you feel unprepared to complete? | ||
|
|
||
| Yes, the labs provided a strong foundation for building this assignment. Topics like fetching data from APIs, JSX rendering with dynamic props, and React hooks (useState, useEffect) were especially helpful. However, I initially felt unprepared when implementing the modal component for movie details. Managing component state and ensuring proper data flow between the movie card and modal took extra time and effort to figure out. | ||
|
|
||
| * If you had more time, what would you have done differently? Would you have added additional features? Changed the way your project responded to a particular event, etc. | ||
|
|
||
| Implemented lazy loading for movie images to improve performance. | ||
|
|
||
| Added a search bar and filter dropdown to let users filter movies by genre or rating. | ||
|
|
||
| Improved the mobile responsiveness and optimized how movie cards stack on smaller screens. | ||
|
|
||
| Added a loading spinner or skeleton UI while fetching data, to enhance the user experience. | ||
|
|
||
| * Reflect on your project demo, what went well? Were there things that maybe didn't go as planned? Did you notice something that your peer did that you would like to try next time? | ||
|
|
||
| The demo went well overall — the app loaded correctly, the movie cards rendered dynamically, and the hover/animation effects added polish. One thing that didn’t go as planned was a slight delay in loading some movie data, which could have been addressed with a loading state. | ||
|
|
||
| One cool thing I noticed during my peer's demo was their use of a favorites feature where users could click a heart to save movies to a favorites list. I’d love to try adding that in the future, possibly with local storage or a simple backend. | ||

| ### Shout out | ||
|
|
||
| Give a shout out to somebody from your cohort that especially helped you during your project. This can be a fellow peer, instructor, TA, mentor, etc. | ||
| TA - Jesus Perez | ||
| Intern Manager - Ameya Gawde | ||
| Peer mentors - Adam Chappell, Ishan Balar | ||
| Paige & Michelle(Tech Fellows) - for all the vocal and technical support | ||
| King Igbozuruike & Angel Balogun & Eniola Farinde - My friends/support system who kept pushing me to go farther and implement as much as i can | ||
