Movie Lookup V1

Overview

A full-stack movie discovery app with a React/Vite frontend and a separate Express backend. Features include browsing popular movies, search, movie detail pages, and a shared watchlist persisted in SQLite.

What I learned

First time deploying a split frontend/backend architecture — React on Vercel, Express on Railway. Hit real bugs around tmdb_id vs database id conflicts, SQLite boolean storage, and route ordering. This project is what made me want to rebuild it properly as V2.
