Motivation

There are two reasons why this repo exists.

1. My main mission behind this repo is to show you my ability to work with this stack of technologies and how I organize the project and code as well.

2. Just challenging myself with the latest version (during development) of NextJs (v14+) and React-toolkit

I haven't used any AI tools like ChatGPT, CoPIlot, or any other "crutches" for the mind.
