A secure note-taking web application built with the MERN stack, featuring authentication, full CRUD functionality, and a clean, responsive user interface, deployed at: Live Demo

• Frontend: React (bootstrapped with Create React App) :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
• Backend: Node.js + Express
• Database: MongoDB
• Authentication: Likely JSON Web Tokens (JWT) (common in MERN apps, though not explicitly stated)

These instructions will help you run the project locally.

• Node.js (v14+ recommended)
• npm or yarn
• MongoDB instance (local or cloud-based)

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/sumitti/iNotebook.git
   cd iNotebook

2. Install frontend dependencies

   cd public
   npm install

3. Install backend dependencies

   cd ../backend
   npm install

Run these from the root or appropriate subdirectory, as configured:

• npm start → Launches the frontend in development mode at http://localhost:3000
• npm test → Starts the test runner in interactive watch mode
• npm run build → Builds the app for production into the build folder (minified and optimized)
• npm run eject → Ejects from Create React App setup to give full control over configurations (irreversible)

• User registration and secure login (authentication likely via JWT)
• Create, Read, Update, and Delete notes (CRUD)
• Clean, responsive UI (mobile-friendly)
• Built using established MERN architecture for scalability and maintainability
