This is a simple web streaming service platform written in Python's web framemork - Flask. The platform is designed to allow users to request, watch and bookmark movies and TV shows available on the platform's server. The project was created to serve as a local streaming service platform for a small community or organization. The platform is designed to be simple and easy to use, with a modern, responsive user interface.

This project integrates a React frontend with a Flask backend to create a full-stack web application. The React app serves as the user interface, allowing users to interact with the application through a modern, responsive design. The Flask backend handles API requests, business logic, and interactions with the database, providing a robust server-side platform.
