OVERVIEW
Summary
Kolkata — Moviez is a modern movie database built to get the fundamentals right — browse, search, and detail views backed by Redux and real-time data, with error handling that fails gracefully.
01
Why I built it
A movie database is a deceptively good test of frontend fundamentals: lots of async data, lots of state, and lots of ways to fail. I built one to get all three right.
02
What it does
Browse, search, and detail views over a live movie API, with Redux managing predictable global state across the app.
03
Under the hood
Real-time fetching with robust error handling — loading states, empty states, and error boundaries that keep the experience intact instead of white-screening when a request fails.
04
The outcome
A seamless browse-and-search experience, and a demonstration that solid fundamentals — not novelty — are what make a data-heavy UI feel reliable.
