About
My first independent idea project. I wanted to start with a quiz app in React and use an API. The end result has a survey type of quiz, a trivia quiz, and a random suggestion generator.
Challenges
- Conditional rendering, which was used to switch questions / answers.
- Coming up against limitations of the data in the API and ultimately deciding to pare back my survey questions from 10 to 3.
- Tallying score in trivia quiz (As a challenge, I wanted to do this without googling)
User Experience
- User may choose to Skip the Quiz and get an instant tv show recommendation. This recommendation will be a randomly selected show.
- If User chooses, there is a 3 question quiz to generate a more tailored recommendation.
- User can take a trivia quiz that has ten questions about different tv shows. Score will show at the end of the quiz.
API
The site uses API from The Movie Database to generate tv show recommendations.

- Display more than text in the recommendation and link to places to watch.
- Would like to display more than text in the recommendation and link to places to watch.
