Cinecanvas is a fast, modern movie‑browsing web app built with Vite and React, styled using Tailwind CSS and shadcn/ui, integrated with TMDB and VidSrc APIs for metadata and streaming embeds, and deployed on Cloudflare Pages for global performance.

Features

• Search & Discovery: Browse and search movies/TV shows via the TMDB API, which offers a community‑driven database of over 800,000 films and 150,000 TV shows with images and credits.
• Streaming Embeds: Seamlessly embed trailers and previews using VidSrc’s free streaming API, providing responsive, auto‑updated, high‑quality links via simple REST endpoints.
• Responsive UI: Utility‑first design with Tailwind CSS, combining low‑level, single‑purpose classes for rapid, custom styling directly in markup.
• Accessible Components: UI primitives and patterns from shadcn/ui accelerate accessible React component assembly on top of Tailwind.
• Blazing Fast HMR: Vite’s Hot Module Replacement updates modules in‑place without full reloads, preserving state and boosting developer productivity.
