You know when you have a thousand TV shows you want to watch but when you actually sit down to watch something, you can't think of anything you'd possibly want to see? You know when you take a break from watching a show and come back to it, and can't remember where you left off? You know when you want to watch an old favorite show for nostalgia's sake, but your mind is blank? If you have those problems, look no further! Show Tracker was created as a way for you to keep track of TV shows you want to watch, are watching, or have already watched. Think of it as Goodreads, but for TV shows. Goodshows, if you will.
Show Tracker was built using Laravel and Vue.js. It implements REST principles, which allows you to create, read, update, and delete items in your database via AJAX. The four HTTP methods used are: GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE.
