Target level: This is an all around challenge that covers both juniors and experienced devs based on the depth of how the concepts were applied.
Final accomplishment: By the end of this challenge you'll have a working development app.
Design: Figma
- Clear instructions on how to run the application
- Implement the screens using The Movie DB trending endpoint (Create an account and generate an API access key for development to be able to access it)

- MVVM structures
- Implement pagination with both lists of the app.
- Implement error handling and reload options

Fork the repo, in the forked repo, create a new branch to work on. Create a new project and do your work on that branch of the forked repo. When done, open a pull request from your branch to the master branch of the forked repo so that the end result can be reviewed.
Our evaluation will be conducted over the state of the forked repository in which the challenge is done.
