Building a Movie App with React

Learning React with a Movie App 🎬
I just finished building a movie app using React! This project helped me learn the most important React ideas.
Why I Built This
I wanted to understand how React works by making something real. This project shows me how to use the main features of React in a simple way.
What the App Does:
- Shows Movies: Display a list of movies with information about each one.
- Save Favorites: Let users save their favorite movies.
- Navigation: Move between different pages of the app.
React Ideas I Used:
- Hooks: Using useState to manage data in my app.
- State Management: Keeping track of which movies are favorites.
- Components: Breaking the app into small, reusable pieces.
- Props: Sending data between components.
This project taught me how React makes building apps easier!
