Nobly Harsh Reviews 🎬

A Svelte Exercise.

General Introduction

Welcome to Nobly Harsh Reviews, the digital redoubt where Sir Reginald Pique, armed with his relentless wit and unwavering standards, dispenses his cinema critiques. This application, crafted with the elegance of Svelte 5 preview and styled by the sophisticated simplicity of Tailwind CSS, brings a cinematic critique experience like no other. Using Redis from Upstash for persistent storage, the TMDB API for fetching extensive movie details, and ChatGPT to channel the ineffable essence of Sir Reginald Pique (whose existence remains as mysterious as a well-crafted plot twist), this project is a technophile's delight wrapped in a critic’s robe.
