Flixr is a movie search engine powered by user responses to a simple multiple-choice quizlet. Flixr is deployed on Heroku - find the app here.
Our objective was to create an app that makes use of The Movie Database API to find movies for its users according to their preferences at the moment and allow the user to build and edit their playlist, while also being able to see the activity of other users on their dashboard.

- New users can register and log in once they reach the landing page.
- Users can view their playlists on their dashboard, as well as the 5 most recent playlists made by all users of Flixr.
- Users can create playlists by taking a short, 10-question quizlet, designed to illicit a different response on each taking of the quiz. This is to find movies that best match the mood of the user at that moment in time.
- Once their movies have been selected, they can review their playlist and give it a name and an optional description.
- Once the playlists have been made, they can be viewed from the user's dashboard and edited or deleted.
On Flixr's landing page, the user may log in, or register if they don't have an account.
