Habit Tracker

A motivational habit tracker to help users build and maintain habits. Users can create habits with a frequency, mark daily completions, visualize their progress in a calendar, and track streaks.

This repo contains both the frontend (React + Vite + Tailwind) and backend (Node + Express + MongoDB) in a clean monorepo structure.
