But applying for a technical graduate degree under a **Bangladeshi passport** presents unique realities.\n\nGradPlanner solves the real bottlenecks:\n\n- **Funding \u003e Rankings:** Prioritizes programs with active TA/RA stipends, DAAD, MEXT, and fully funded fellowship packages.\n- **Bangladesh-Specific Visa Intelligence:** Tracks German APS bottlenecks (2.5+ years Dhaka waittimes), Canadian SDS requirements, and USA F-1 interview strategies.\n- **Outreach Tracker:** Organizes email pipelines to prospective advisors, managing local local times, follow-up timers, and reply status tracking.\n- **Document Timelines:** Schedules document gathering (police clearances, transcript requests, GIC bank transfers) matching Dhaka timeline realities.\n\n---\n\n## 🛠️ Technical Stack\n\nGradPlanner is built as a highly performant, decoupled monorepo:\n\n### Frontend\n\n- **Framework:** Next.js 15 (App Router) with TypeScript\n- **State Management:** Redux Toolkit\n- **Styling:** Tailwind CSS \u0026 shadcn/ui\n- **Client Authentication:** `better-auth` client instance\n\n### Backend\n\n- **Server:** Express.js with TypeScript\n- **Database ORM:** Prisma Client\n- **Database:** PostgreSQL\n- **Authentication:** `better-auth` server handler\n\n---\n\n## 📂 Project Structure\n\n```\n├── backend/                  # Express.js REST API server\n│   ├── prisma/               # Database schemas and seeding scripts\n│   └── src/                  # Controllers, routes, and lib instances\n├── frontend/                 # Next.js 15 public \u0026 dashboard app\n│   ├── public/               # Static country and salary JSON metadata\n│   └── src/                  # Page routers, Redux slices, and UI components\n├── AGENTS.md                 # Product guidance for AI agents\n├── CONTRIBUTING.md           # Contribution workflows \u0026 guidelines\n├── LICENSE                   # MIT License\n└── README.md                 # Main workspace documentation\n```\n\n---\n\n## 🚀 Getting Started\n\n### 1. Installation\n\nInstall dependencies for both frontend and backend using `pnpm` from the root directory:\n\n```bash\npnpm install\n```\n\n### 2. Database Setup \u0026 Seeding\n\nEnsure you have a PostgreSQL database running. Create a `.env` file in the `backend/` folder and supply the credentials:\n\n```env\nDATABASE_URL=\"postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/gradplanner?schema=public\"\nBETTER_AUTH_SECRET=\"your-super-secret-auth-key\"\n```\n\nApply database migrations:\n\n```bash\ncd backend\npnpm exec prisma migrate dev\n```\n\nSeed the reference country intelligence and university ranking datasets:\n\n```bash\npnpm exec prisma db seed\n```\n\n### 3. Running Locally\n\nStart both services in development mode:\n\n- **Backend Server:**\n\n  ```bash\n  cd backend\n  pnpm dev\n  ```\n\n  _(Starts API on `http://localhost:5000`)_\n\n- **Frontend Client:**\n  ```bash\n  cd frontend\n  pnpm dev\n  ```\n  _(Starts Next.js on `http://localhost:3000`)_\n\n---\n\n## 🤝 Contributing\n\nContributions to GradPlanner are highly welcome!
