Feel free to explore and test.\n\n## Getting Started\n\n### Prerequisites\n\n- **Node.js** (v18+)\n- **npm** or **yarn**\n- A **MongoDB Atlas** database (or local MongoDB instance)\n\n### Installation \u0026 Setup\n\n1. **Clone** this repository:\n\n   ```bash\n   git clone https://github.com/PrthD/SmartBudget.git\n   cd SmartBudget\n   ```\n\n2. **Install** dependencies in both **frontend** and **backend** folders:\n\n   ```bash\n   # In project root\n   cd frontend\n   npm install\n   # or yarn install\n\n   cd ../backend\n   npm install\n   # or yarn install\n   ```\n\n3. **Environment Variables**: In the `backend/.env`, set:\n\n   ```env\n   PORT=5000\n   MONGODB_URI=YOUR_MONGODB_ATLAS_URL\n   JWT_SECRET=YOUR_SECRET_KEY\n   ```\n\n   In the `frontend/.env`, set:\n\n   ```env\n   REACT_APP_API_URL=http://localhost:5000\n   ```\n\n   Adjust these as needed for production vs. local dev.\n\n4. **Run** the backend server:\n\n   ```bash\n   cd backend\n   npm run dev\n   # Runs on http://localhost:5000\n   ```\n\n5. **Run** the frontend dev server:\n   ```bash\n   cd frontend\n   npm start\n   # Runs on http://localhost:3000\n   ```\n\nTo replicate this:\n\n1. Create an account on [Render](https://render.com/).\n2. Deploy each folder (backend, frontend) as separate web services.\n3. Update environment variables on Render for both services.\n4. Reference the correct `REACT_APP_API_URL` in the frontend `.env`.\n\n### Video Walkthrough\n\n\u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/17MDsNQhj1_eIbny_8SGCV9A-Zxx9dnH8/view?usp=sharing\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https://drive.google.com/thumbnail?id=17MDsNQhj1_eIbny_8SGCV9A-Zxx9dnH8\" alt=\"SmartBudget Video Walkthrough\" width=\"300\" style=\"border: 2px solid #ccc; border-radius: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003c/a\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"max-width: 300px; margin: auto;\"\u003eClick on the thumbnail above to watch a detailed video walkthrough of the application.\u003c/p\u003e\n\n## Contributing\n\nPull requests are welcome.
