Random Movie Suggestion

Share your Projects!
1

Hello,

I'd like to share my random movie suggestion project.
Bellow you'll find every .yaml, and integration needed for the card (last card in the picture).
It generates a new suggestion if clicked (with background picture, rating and overview).
Optionally you can add filters.

You'll need a free TMDB API key.
