Useful Techniques

1. Performed an auto scroll after each page fetched for Now Playing section. This helped refresh the DotsIndicator state to display the correct digits while also providing for a good UX.
2. Pre-caching the first 2 images from Now Playing and Top Rated API Call responses for a smooth loading experience going into Home screen. 2 for each API because the first visible tiles for each List would be the first 2 elements.
3. Opened a Hive Box soon as the app launches so Local Database can be accessed without any delays of operation.
