shipped project for week 1 of terra, backend broke

good news and bad news and more bad news:

• I was able to link the frontend to the actual query-calling backend
• However, AMC Theatres recently changed security on their website, so now they want cloudflare-issued cookies, which I can’t get with just the requests library. solution: use playwright, an actual headless browser which will be able to get the cookies and fetch data. however, i’ve never worked with async functions before so this will be a challenge. at least i got the frontend to render the 403 error with color coding 😊
• remember how i said “more bad news”? well when I was deploying this project on vercel, the backend broke for some reason. the frontend can call the backend, but the backend can’t find the ../frontend library, yet it’s hosting it. a;laksjdf;lkja;lksdf. imma have to figure this out now.
