wtf is movie-website?

This repository is a movie and TV show browsing website. It lets visitors explore trending films, search for titles, and maintain a personal watchlist. Think of it as a Netflix-style interface where you can browse what's popular this week, look up specific movies, and save things you want to watch later. The site offers several ways to discover content. You can filter movies by what's trending today, this week, or what's top-rated overall. A search bar lets you find specific titles instantly. When you log in with a Google account, you gain access to a watchlist feature, you can add or remove movies with a single click, and those selections persist even after you close and reopen the browser. The site also includes separate sections for movies versus TV shows, plus a details page for individual titles. This project would appeal to someone learning modern web development who wants a real, working example to study or build upon. A coding bootcamp student could use it as a reference for how to structure authentication, routing, and state management in a React application. A founder prototyping a media-related product could fork it as a starting point rather than building a browse-and-search interface from scratch. The project is built with React for the user interface, Tailwind CSS for styling, and Firebase to handle user login and store watchlist data on the backend. It also uses Material UI components and React Router for navigation between pages. The codebase is organized into clear folders, pages for different screens, components for reusable UI pieces, and separate files for API calls and Firebase services. This kind of structure is a common pattern in professional React projects, making the code easier to navigate and maintain.
