About The Project

This is Game Hub a website where you could search for video games, view details, add to favorites...
I created this website in React.ts only the first time then I created the backend using ASP.NET 8 to make a fullstack application, the backend and frontend are separated in different repositories, see the frontend repository here
The app uses RAWG API to get data about the games.
