ARVINDCRACKS is a full-stack web application designed to demonstrate modern web development techniques. It features a Node.js/Express backend that scrapes and serves software data via a RESTful API. The frontend is a responsive and dynamic single-page application (SPA) built with React, TypeScript, and Vite, allowing users to browse, search, and view details about various software titles. The project is styled with Tailwind CSS for a clean and modern user interface.
- Dynamic Frontend: A responsive and interactive user interface built with React and TypeScript.
- Backend API: An Express.js server that provides data to the frontend client.
- Web Scraping: Includes a
scraper.jsscript to automate the collection of software data. - Component-Based Architecture: Organized into reusable React components for maintainability and scalability.
- Modern Tooling: Fast development and build times powered by Vite.
- Clean UI: Styled with Tailwind CSS for a utility-first and aesthetically pleasing design.
- Client-Side Routing: Seamless navigation between pages like Home, About, and Software Details without page reloads.
