Finally, view the application at localhost:3001 in your browser. Enjoy!

Movie Tracker was built using React, React Router, Redux, and Redux thunks. It stores user login information and favorites via a local server. As an introduction to multi-page applications, the learning goals included becoming familiar with Router and Redux. Our team especially focused on writing simple, straightforward React code (including streamlined fetch requests).

In the future, we would like to deploy the project with a server-side backend. We would like to do this via node.js and Heroku.
