Proud to present you Fakeflix, a Netflix Clone built with React, Redux, Firebase & Framer Motion

Hi guys, I'm proud to present you my latest project: Fakeflix.

Home

I have started this project with the purpose of learning how to structure a Web App of a mid-level complexity integrating the Redux logic and experiment with things like Redux Thunk, Redux Saga, Firebase and Framer Motion.

It's a Netflix clone: I've tried to replicate the original layout as much as possible and I've also made some improvements in some sections inserting route animations and micro-interactions. I've also inserted a really close clone of Netflix's original splash animation, made entirely with CSS, as well as the play animation.

I put a lot of effort into it and I hope that you could like it and show some love by starring the project and following me on GitHub.

I have started this project with the purpose of learning how to structure a Web App of a mid-level complexity integrating the Redux logic.
I've tried to replicate the original layout as much as possible and I've also made some improvements in some sections inserting route animations and micro-interactions. I've also inserted a really close clone of Netflix's original splash animation (forked from a famous codepen from Claudio Bonfati), made entirely with CSS, as well as the play animation. I have then sampled the original Netflix "ta-duummm" sound and I made it play along with the two animations.
I put a lot of effort into it and I hope that you could like it.

I would be glad to hear your feedbacks about it.

Here you can find the demo link:

In the next weeks I will publish more articles about this project, focusing on pieces of the code that is what we like most ;)

Impressive 👏 I love the splash intro.

PS: you should include a link to the project without the need to register/login. Or simply add a "log in as anonymous"-button 👍

Thank you for your appreciation!
I have included a section inside the README with test credentials.
Anyway I'm thinking to add an anonymous login as you suggest :)

If this is for your portfolio I would def add a guest login, no one will want to spend the time to register, this is an awesome build! Nice work

I will introduce a new button inside the Sign In page that will allow to Sign In anonymously or with a default demo account.

I don't think I will do a video series, instead I think that I will post more related content here on Dev.to focusing on pieces of code that might help

About RTK: I have built this project with the "old" Redux on purpose, so if I will come across it in a company I will be able to use it without particular problems. For my next projects I will try to use RTK if necessary so I will also see the differences with the old one

Pretty good, but it seems like more optimization is needed.

Says every senior developer with 5 years of total XP. SMH, nobody cares.
