## About The Project

This is a full-featured **task management hub** built with a **React + Vite frontend** and an **Express + MongoDB backend**. The app offers real-time collaborative features, an intuitive UI for tracking progress, and secure authentication to manage and assign tasks efficiently.

The backend exposes RESTful API endpoints secured with JWT authentication and supports file uploads and task data export using `exceljs`.
