🚀 Getting Started

Follow these steps to set up the project locally:

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Node.js (v18 or higher) and pnpm installed on your machine.

If you don't have pnpm yet, you can install it with npm install -g pnpm or corepack enable.

2. Install dependencies:

   pnpm install

3. Run the development server:

   pnpm dev

   Open http://localhost:5176 (or the port provided in your terminal) to view the app in the browser.
