Why make this?

As a front end developer, I enjoy making projects with new technologies to continue learning about software development. This project allowed me to join forces with gstro who took on building out the backend. Also, we like movies.

These were the new tools I used developing FilmClub:

• Grommet - a popular responsive UI library
• SwaggerHub/OpenAPI collaboration tool

Two folders:
