# 🗒️ YouNote – Notes Application
YouNote is a full-stack notes application that allows users to securely register, log in, and manage personal notes through a clean and responsive interface.
Built with **Spring Boot** and **Vue.js**, this project demonstrates my ability to design, develop, and integrate both back-end and front-end technologies into a seamless user experience.
---
## 💡 About This Project
I built YouNote as a personal project to strengthen my full-stack development skills after completing my Java bootcamp.
My goal was to create a real-world application that showcases my understanding of authentication, RESTful APIs, and reactive front-end design.
I continue to improve its design, styling, and functionality as I grow as a developer.
---
## 🛠 Tech Stack
**Backend:** Java, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, JWT Authentication
**Frontend:** Vue.js, Vue Router, Vuex, Axios
**Tools:** IntelliJ IDEA, VS Code, Postman, Git, GitHub
---
## ⚙️ Features
- 🔐 User authentication (register/login) with JWT tokens
- 📝 Create, read, update, and delete notes
- 💾 Persistent storage using PostgreSQL
- 🔄 RESTful API built with Spring Boot
- ⚡ Responsive and dynamic front-end built with Vue.js
- 🎨 Continuously improving front-end styling and responsive design skills
---
## 🚀 Getting Started
Follow these steps to run YouNote locally:
### Backend & Frontend Setup
```bash
# Start the backend (Spring Boot)
cd backend
./mvnw spring-boot:run
# In a separate terminal, start the frontend (Vue.js)
cd frontend
npm install
npm run serve
```
Then open:
- Backend → [http://localhost:8080](http://localhost:8080)
- Frontend → [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173)
