🧾 About
Tagline — One sentence describing the app.
2–3 sentences: what it is, what problem it solves, and who it's for.
Example:
Application Name is a real-time collaborative whiteboard for product and design teams. It replaces static slide decks and disconnected docs with a shared visual canvas that updates live for everyone in the room — no refresh needed.
⚙️ How It Works
Describe the core user flow:
User visits → Auth check → Dashboard → Feature A / Feature B → Result
- Authentication: Users sign in via OAuth or email. Sessions are stored securely as HTTP-only cookies.
- Data Loading: React Query fetches and caches data from the backend API on mount.
- State: Local UI state (modals, theme) lives in Zustand. Server state is managed by React Query.
- Real-time (if applicable): WebSocket connection pushes live updates to all connected clients.
💼 Real-World Use Cases
- Product Teams: Collaborate on feature planning in a shared workspace that keeps everyone on the same page without meetings.
- Freelancers: Present deliverables to clients in a polished, interactive format instead of sending PDFs.
- Educators: Build interactive lesson interfaces that students can use at their own pace on any device.
✨ Features
- Responsive, mobile-first design
- Dark / Light mode
- Full keyboard navigation (WCAG 2.1 AA)
- Lazy loading and code splitting
- Internationalization (i18n) ready
- PWA support (offline mode)
🛠️ Tech Stack
