Challenges I ran into

Real-time Web Scraping: Scraping IMDb's real-time data posed a challenge due to the continuous updates on their website. Implementing real-time scraping strategies and pagination techniques to fetch the latest top 1000 movies required careful planning and execution.
Design and User Experience: Creating an appealing, sleek design with Next.js while ensuring a seamless user experience demanded meticulous attention to detail in layout, navigation, and responsive design to cater to a wide range of devices and screen sizes.
Data Management: Effectively managing and organizing the scraped movie data in a MongoDB database and optimizing queries for retrieval while handling potential data inconsistencies and updates was another significant challenge.
