Building Movie App with React.js: Integrating API and Designing UI

🚀 Built a Dynamic Box Creator with React.js I recently developed a Dynamic Box Creator App with React.js, allowing users to create various boxes dynamically by entering the number of boxes, entering custom text, and selecting a box color. This project assisted me in improving my React state management, events, and dynamic rendering skills. 🔹 Features of the Application: Enter the number of boxes to create Enter custom text to display inside boxes Select a color for boxes Click Add to dynamically create boxes Beautiful, clean, and responsive UI This application assisted me in better understanding React hooks, dynamic components, and interactive user interface concepts. 💻 GitHub Repository: https://lnkd.in/dwwfbZgv 🌐 Live Demo: https://lnkd.in/dyUh2z23 I continue to develop more projects to improve my React and front-end development skills. #React #ReactJS #JavaScript #FrontendDevelopment #WebDevelopment #Coding #SoftwareDeveloper #GitHub #OpenSource #LearningInPublic Coding Thinker

🚀 New Project Launch – Movie Search Finder App Excited to share my latest frontend project built using React.js and the TMDb API. This application allows users to explore popular movies and search for their favorite titles in real time. 🔹 Key Features • Search movies dynamically using API integration • Display popular movies on initial load • Responsive card-based UI for movie posters and titles • Loading indicators and error handling for better user experience 🔹 Tech Stack React.js | JavaScript | HTML | CSS | REST API This project helped me strengthen my understanding of React hooks, API integration, and dynamic UI rendering while building a clean and responsive interface. 🔗 Live Demo: https://lnkd.in/gF5bUnMV 💻 GitHub Repository: https://lnkd.in/gFbtN9Zm Always open to feedback and suggestions as I continue improving my frontend development skills. #ReactJS #WebDevelopment #FrontendDeveloper #JavaScript #APIIntegration #Projects

I Finally Understood useEffect… Somehow A few days deeper into React, and things are starting to click, not perfectly, but enough to feel real progress. At first, hooks felt confusing. Especially useEffect. Why does it run? When does it run? Why does it run again? It didn’t make sense… until I stopped overthinking it and started building. Here’s what I’ve worked on so far: -> useState Understanding how state drives UI changes made everything feel more dynamic and controlled. -> useEffect Still not “mastered”, but now I understand how it handles side effects, especially API calls and controlled execution. -> Built small apps Counter app (state updates, re-rendering) Meme generator (API hit using useEffect, dynamic content, event handling) These small builds did more than tutorials ever could, they forced me to connect the dots. The biggest shift? I have stopped trying to memorize React… and started trying to think in React. Still early, but now it feels like direction instead of confusion. Next: Better structure, deeper hooks, and more real-world projects. For developers: How do you clearly decide when to use useEffect, and when not to? #ReactJS #FullStackDeveloper #WebDevelopment #BuildInPublic #JavaScript #LearningJourney

🚀 React JS Project – FAQ App I’ve built a small FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) application using React.js as part of my learning journey in frontend development. This project helped me improve my understanding of React components, state management, and UI interaction. 🟢 Features Expand and collapse answers using Plus / Minus toggle Built with React Class Components Used state to control showing and hiding answers Clean and simple user interface Reusable FAQ Item component Even though this is a small project, building projects like this helps create a strong foundation in React and frontend development. I’m continuously improving my skills by building more React and Full-Stack projects. 🔗 GitHub Repository: https://lnkd.in/gF2jwDiM hashtag Live :https://lnkd.in/gfisrnqz #ReactJS hashtag #FrontendDevelopment hashtag #JavaScript hashtag #WebDevelopment hashtag #LearningByBuilding

🚀 Day 3: Understanding React Components Everything in React is built using Components. If you understand components well, you already understand 50% of React. 📌 What are React Components? A React Component is a reusable piece of UI. Instead of writing one large webpage, React allows us to break the UI into small reusable parts. Think of it like LEGO blocks 🧩 Small pieces combined together build a complete application. 📌 Example of a React Component function Welcome() { return <h1>Hello, React!</h1>; } export default Welcome; Here, Welcome is a component that returns UI. 📌 Using the Component function App() { return ( <div> <Welcome /> </div> ); } React renders the Welcome component inside the App component. 📌 Why Components are Powerful ✅ Reusable code ✅ Easier to maintain large applications ✅ Better code organization ✅ Makes UI development faster For example, in a real application you might have: • Navbar Component • Sidebar Component • Product Card Component • Footer Component All these small pieces combine to create a complete application. #ReactJS #FrontendDevelopment #Components #JavaScript #WebDevelopment #LearnInPublic #CodingJourney

🚀 I built a Random Joke Generator Web App… and learned a lot along the way! At first, working with APIs felt confusing 😅 But this project helped me finally understand how things actually work. 💡 What it does: • Generates random jokes using API • Supports multiple categories (Programming, Dark, etc.) • Text-to-speech feature 🔊 • Copy jokes instantly 📋 🧠 What I learned: • API handling (fetch, async/await) • DOM manipulation • Making UI more interactive 🔗 Live Demo:https://lnkd.in/g8yyVQp6 I’m still improving my frontend skills every day. 👉 Which feature should I add next? #WebDevelopment #Frontend #JavaScript #100DaysOfCode

When I first learned about useMemo, I thought: “Great! This will make my React app faster.” So I started adding it everywhere 😅 But later I realized something important: 👉 useMemo is not always necessary. Example: ❌ Overusing useMemo const doubled = useMemo(() => count * 2, [count]); For a simple calculation like this, React is already fast enough. Using useMemo here actually adds unnecessary complexity. ✅ useMemo is useful when: Expensive calculations Large lists filtering/sorting Preventing unnecessary re-renders in heavy components Example: const filteredUsers = useMemo(() => { return users.filter(user => user.active); }, [users]); The real lesson I learned: Optimization should come after clarity. First write clean code. Then optimize when needed. What’s your rule for using useMemo? #ReactJS #ReactHooks #FrontendDevelopment #JavaScript #WebDevelopment

One thing I’ve noticed working on React apps at scale… Performance issues rarely come from “slow code”. Most of the time, it’s just too many unnecessary re-renders happening quietly. And you don’t really notice it early on. Everything feels fine when the app is small. Then features keep getting added… More components, more state, more API calls… And suddenly: UI starts feeling a bit laggy Debugging gets harder Small changes have unexpected impact When I started digging into these issues, a pattern kept showing up: → State was lifted higher than needed → Components were doing too many things → Objects/functions were getting recreated every render → Everything was technically “correct”… but not efficient What helped: • Keeping state closer to where it’s actually used • Breaking components into smaller, focused pieces • Being careful with reference changes (this one is easy to miss) • Using memoization only where it truly makes a difference One thing I’ve learned the hard way: Using useMemo/useCallback everywhere doesn’t fix performance. It just makes the code harder to reason about. Most of the real gains came from fixing structure, not adding optimizations. At some point, you realize — performance is less about tweaking and more about how you design things upfront. #ReactJS #FrontendDevelopment #WebPerformance #JavaScript

Built a small Background Changer app while learning React. Simple idea, but a good exercise for understanding components and data flow. Instead of hardcoding colors, I created a reusable Button component and used .map() to render them dynamically with props. Also experimented with Tailwind CSS for smooth hover effects and a small magical text touch. ✨ Step by step, React concepts are starting to click. Click carefully… It’s magic. 😉 #reactjs #webdevelopment #chaiaurcode #tailwindcss
