MyMDb

MyMDb stands for My Movie Database. It is a project that includes a web application with a .NET API and a React client.

This web app is designed for administrators to add movies or series that are not available on any streaming services, and for users to watch them from anywhere. Users can also leave reviews to help their friends decide whether they should watch the content or not.
