Overview

This Note-Taking App is a simple web application built using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js).

Additionally, basic user authentication has been implemented to enable users to save and access their own notes securely.

Features

• User Authentication: Secure user authentication ensures that each user has a private space for their notes.
• Create Notes: Users can easily create new notes with a title and content.
• Edit Notes: Users have the ability to edit their existing notes, providing a seamless editing experience.
• Delete Notes: Unwanted notes can be easily deleted, maintaining a clutter-free workspace.

Technologies Used

• MongoDB: For storing and managing the notes data.
• Express.js: As the backend framework to handle server-side operations.
