(Although I used Tailwind UI, and I really didn't get on with that compared to MUI. But some more time would probably help!)This uses the Frinkiac API to have access to 10 seasons of Simpsons frames.I'd love to share this, however, I have no idea what the copyright would be, so for now its just for me :)
