Flix
Flix is an app that allows users to browse movies from the The Movie Database API.
It fetches data from the web and displays it in a scrolling list that's easy and interactive for users to view.

Notes
- I will surely submit earlier for future assignments;
- In making this simple movie browsing app, I've encountered "Thread: fatal error: Unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value" a couple of times and at moments it was super annoying. I ended up fixing this error by repeating "cleaning build folder -> build -> run -> restart xcode" several times.

Notes
Encountered black screen when launching the app several times during the development. Ended up bringing it back to normal by rearranging the navigation controller and the location of the "start arrow".
