- User can scroll through a list of movies currently playing in theaters from The Movie DB API (+5pt)
- User can "Pull to refresh" the movie list (+2pt)
- User sees a loading state while waiting for the movies to load (+2pt)
The following stretch user stories are implemented:
- User sees an alert when there's a networking error (+1pt)
- User can search for a movie (+3pt)
- While poster is being fetched, user see's a placeholder image (+1pt)
- User sees image transition for images coming from network, not when it is loaded from cache (+1pt)

- How to make activity indicator visible through pull to refresh
- How to implement the 3rd Party Progress HUD
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

Implementing the required stories worked out fine. However, I encountered many problems when trying to implement the search bar, the network alert controller, and sometimes accessing the details page through the superhero view controller.

Time spent: 5 hours spent in total
The following required user stories are complete:
- The following screens use AutoLayout to adapt to various orientations and screen sizes
- Movie feed view (+3pt)
- Detail view (+2pt)
The following stretch user stories are implemented:
- Dynamic Height Cells (+1)

- Implement more practical constraint placements
Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):
- How to differentiate the different type of constraints and when/where to use them.
- What are the ideal constraints to use in certain places?

There were many challenges encountered while implementing constraints to the Now Playing VC and the Detail VC. Luckily, the Now Playing VC is functional accross all devices. However, with the detail VC, when viewing in landscape the background poster does not adjust to its 1:3 ratio. This causes an overlap with the text and the inability to clearly see it.
