🗄️ Database Design

The application uses SQL-based relational database with:

• User Model
• Notes Model
• Relationship between Users and Notes

Each user can create and manage their own notes securely.

---

🔐 Authentication Flow

• User registers with email and password
• Password is securely stored (hashed)
• Session management maintains login state
• Logout functionality clears session

---

🎯 Learning Outcomes

• Flask application factory pattern
• Blueprints for modular routing
• SQL database modeling
• Authentication & session handling
• CRUD implementation in web apps
• Project structuring for scalability

---

🔮 Future Improvements

• Add password reset functionality
• Implement REST API endpoints
• Add pagination for notes
• Deploy to cloud (Render / AWS / Azure)
• Add Docker support
