NETFLEX-clone

A responsive Netflix-style web app that showcases movies and TV shows with a clean, familiar UI. This project is a front-end clone built to practice modern web development skills — fetching data from an API, rendering media grids, implementing a featured hero area, and building responsive layouts.

Features

• Home page with a featured banner and multiple media rows (e.g., Trending, Top Rated, Action).
• Responsive design for desktop, tablet, and mobile.
• Search and simple navigation (if implemented).
• Smooth hover effects and modal/detail views for individual items (if implemented).
• Uses an external movie database API (e.g., TMDB) to populate content.

Built with

• HTML5 & CSS3 (or a CSS framework if used)
• JavaScript (or TypeScript)
• React (if applicable) — adjust to match the actual stack used in this repo
• Axios / fetch for API calls
• Optional: React Router, Redux / Context API for state, CSS Modules / Styled Components / SASS
