The app also allows users to see movie recommendations based on their search history and add friends to their list of attendees.
This project is built using Ruby on Rails and follows MVC architecture. The database is implemented using PostgreSQL and the front-end is built using HTML, CSS, and Bootstrap. The app also utilizes APIs from The Movie Database (TMDb) to fetch movie data and user authentication is implemented using Devise gem.
