## 📸 Photography Tips for Beginners

Here are **10 practical photography tips** to help you take better photos:

1. **Understand the Exposure Triangle**
Learn how **ISO, shutter speed, and aperture** work together. These three settings control brightness, motion, and depth of field.

2. **Use the Rule of Thirds**
Turn on your camera's grid and place your main subject along the lines or intersection points.

3. **Pay Attention to Light** ☀️
Good lighting can make an average photo look professional. For portraits, try soft window light, open shade, or early-morning/evening light.

4. **Keep Your Camera Steady**
Hold the camera with both hands and keep your elbows close to your body. For slow shutter speeds, use a tripod.

5. **Choose the Right Focus Point**
For portraits, focus on the **eyes**. A sharp subject is usually more important than a perfectly exposed background.

6. **Watch Your Background**
Before pressing the shutter, check what's behind your subject. Remove distracting objects whenever possible.

7. **Try Different Angles**
Don't always shoot from eye level. Move higher, lower, closer, or to the side to find a more interesting perspective.

8. **Use Leading Lines**
Roads, buildings, fences, walls, and pathways can guide the viewer's eyes toward your subject.

9. **Don't Always Center Your Subject**
Off-center compositions can create more space and make your images feel more dynamic.

10. **Practice Every Day** 🎯
Take 10–20 photos daily and review them. Ask yourself: *What worked? What didn't? What would I change next time?*

### 🎓 Beginner Challenge

For your next photo session, take **5 photos of the same subject**:

* 📷 One using the Rule of Thirds
* 📷 One from a low angle
* 📷 One from a high angle
* 📷 One using leading lines
* 📷 One close-up

Then compare them and choose your favorite.

# 📸 Photography for Beginners — Lesson 5: Portrait Photography

Portrait photography is about more than simply photographing someone's face. The goal is to **show the person's personality, emotion, and character**.

## 1. Find Good Light

**Light is the most important part of a portrait.**

For beginners, natural window light is an excellent place to start.

Try placing your subject near a window and position them so that the light falls gently across their face.

Avoid extremely harsh sunlight directly overhead because it can create strong shadows under the eyes and nose.

### Try this:

📷 Put your subject beside a window.

Take one photograph with them facing the window.

Then turn them approximately 45° away from the window.

Compare the two photographs.

---

## 2. Focus on the Eyes 👁️

When photographing a person, the eyes are usually the most important part of the portrait.

Make sure the eyes are sharp and in focus.

If your camera has **Eye AF / Eye Detection**, turn it on.

For a close portrait, even a small focusing error can make the photograph look soft.

---

## 3. Choose Your Background Carefully

A distracting background can ruin an otherwise excellent portrait.

Before pressing the shutter, look behind your subject.

Remove or avoid things such as:

* Clutter
* Bright objects
* Trash
* Random people
* Distracting signs
* Objects appearing to come out of the person's head

A simple background often produces a stronger portrait.

---

## 4. Create Background Blur

Remember what we learned about **aperture in Lesson 3**?

A wider aperture such as:

**f/1.8 – f/2.8**

can produce a shallow depth of field and blur the background.

This helps separate your subject from their surroundings.

For example:

**Subject:** sharp
**Background:** soft and blurred

This is often called **bokeh** when the out-of-focus areas have an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

---

## 5. Don't Cut People at Awkward Places

When composing a portrait, be careful where you crop the body.

Avoid cropping directly through areas such as:

* Joints
* Knees
* Elbows

Instead, crop between joints when appropriate.

For a beginner, try these common portrait compositions:

**Headshot:** Head and shoulders

**Medium portrait:** Waist or chest upward

**Full-body portrait:** Entire person visible

---

## 6. Give Your Subject Something to Do

People often become uncomfortable when you simply say:

> "Stand there and smile."

Instead, give them a simple action.

Ask them to:

* Walk toward you
* Look away from the camera
* Adjust their clothing
* Touch their hair
* Sit down
* Lean against a wall
* Look through a window
* Laugh naturally

This can produce much more natural photographs.

---

# 📐 7. Experiment With Camera Angles

Try photographing the same person from different positions.

### Eye level

Natural and realistic.

### Slightly above eye level

Can produce a flattering perspective.

### Low angle

Can make the person appear stronger or more imposing.

### Side angle

Can emphasize facial shape and create a more dramatic portrait.

Don't rely on only one angle.

---

# 🎯 Lesson 5 Practical Exercise

Find a friend or family member and take **12 portraits**.

### Set 1 — Lighting

Take 3 photographs using different light directions.

### Set 2 — Composition

Take:

* 1 headshot
* 1 medium portrait
* 1 full-body portrait

### Set 3 — Background

Take 3 photographs with different backgrounds.

### Set 4 — Angles

Take 3 photographs from:

* Eye level
* Slightly above
* Slightly below

Then choose your **best 3 portraits**.

Ask yourself:

**1. Are the eyes sharp?**

**2. Is the lighting flattering?**

**3. Is the background distracting?**

**4. Is the subject positioned well?**

**5. Does the photograph communicate an emotion?**

# 📸 Photography for Beginners — Lesson 4: Composition

**Composition** is the way you arrange elements inside your photograph. Good composition can make an ordinary scene look much more professional.

## 1. Rule of Thirds

Imagine your photograph divided into **9 equal sections** using two horizontal and two vertical lines.

Instead of placing your subject directly in the center, try placing it where the lines intersect.

📷 **Example:** If you're photographing a person, position their eyes around one of the upper intersections.

**Tip:** Most cameras and smartphones allow you to turn on a **grid** to help with this.

---

## 2. Leading Lines

Leading lines are lines that guide the viewer's eyes toward your subject.

Examples include:

* Roads
* Bridges
* Buildings
* Fences
* Railway tracks
* Walls
* Shadows

For example, you could photograph a person standing at the end of a road, with the road leading toward them.

**Goal:** Use lines to tell the viewer where to look.

---

## 3. Natural Framing

Use objects around your subject to create a **frame within the photograph**.

You can use:

* Doors
* Windows
* Trees
* Arches
* Buildings
* Curtains

For example, photographing someone through a doorway can naturally draw attention to them.

---

## 4. Symmetry

Symmetry occurs when one side of an image mirrors the other.

Examples:

* Architecture
* Reflections in water
* Long corridors
* Roads
* Buildings

Symmetrical photographs can look very clean and powerful.

---

## 5. Negative Space

**Negative space** is the empty area around your main subject.

For example, imagine photographing a person standing on the beach with a large area of sky around them.

The empty space makes the subject stand out.

Don't be afraid of empty areas in your photographs. **Empty space can be part of the composition.**

---

## 6. Change Your Camera Position

One of the easiest ways to improve your photography is to **stop taking every photograph from eye level**.

Try:

📷 **Low angle** — place the camera close to the ground.

📷 **High angle** — photograph from above.

📷 **Eye level** — natural and realistic.

📷 **Side angle** — creates a different perspective.

📷 **Close-up** — emphasize details.

Before taking a photograph, ask yourself:

> **"Can I take this from a more interesting position?"**

---

# 🎯 Lesson 4 Practice

Today, take **10 photographs**.

Try to create:

1. **2 Rule-of-Thirds photos**
2. **2 Leading-Line photos**
3. **2 Symmetry photos**
4. **2 Natural-Framing photos**
5. **2 Negative-Space photos**

Don't worry about having an expensive camera.

Your goal is to **train your eyes to see composition**.

### 📚 Your Assignment

Choose your **best 3 photographs** from today's exercise and examine them.

For each one, identify:

* What is the main subject?
* Where is the subject positioned?
* What lines are visible?
* Is there empty space?
* What makes the viewer look at the subject?

Absolutely. Let’s continue with **Photography for Beginners — Lesson 3**.

# 📸 Lesson 3: Understanding Camera Exposure

Exposure is one of the most important concepts in photography. It determines **how bright or dark your photograph appears**.

The three main elements controlling exposure are called the **Exposure Triangle**:

1. **Aperture**
2. **Shutter Speed**
3. **ISO**

### 1. Aperture — How Much Light Enters

Aperture controls the size of the opening inside your lens.

It is written as **f-numbers**, such as:

* f/1.4
* f/2
* f/2.8
* f/4
* f/5.6
* f/8
* f/11
* f/16

**Important:** A smaller f-number means a **larger opening** and more light.

For example:

**f/1.8 → lots of light + blurry background**

**f/11 → less light + more of the scene in focus**

A wide aperture such as **f/1.8** is excellent for portraits because it can separate the person from the background.

---

### 2. Shutter Speed — How Long the Camera Captures Light

Shutter speed determines how long your camera's shutter stays open.

Examples:

* 1/1000 sec → very fast
* 1/500 sec → fast
* 1/250 sec → moderate
* 1/60 sec → relatively slow
* 1 sec → very slow

A **fast shutter speed** can freeze movement.

📸 Example: photographing a football player running.

A **slow shutter speed** can create motion blur.

📸 Example: photographing moving water and creating a smooth, flowing effect.

---

### 3. ISO — Camera Sensor Sensitivity

ISO controls how strongly your camera sensor responds to light.

Common ISO values include:

* ISO 100
* ISO 200
* ISO 400
* ISO 800
* ISO 1600
* ISO 3200
* ISO 6400

Generally:

**Low ISO = cleaner image**

**High ISO = brighter image but potentially more noise/grain**

Use ISO 100–200 when there is plenty of light.

Use higher ISO values when you're shooting in darker environments and need to maintain a usable shutter speed.

---

## 🔺 How the Three Work Together

Imagine you're taking a portrait outdoors.

You choose:

**Aperture:** f/2.8
**Shutter:** 1/250 sec
**ISO:** 100

This gives you:

* A reasonably bright image
* A blurred background
* Enough shutter speed to reduce camera shake and subject movement
* Low image noise

But if your photograph is too dark, you could:

* Open the aperture → f/2.8 to f/2
* Slow the shutter → 1/250 to 1/125
* Increase ISO → 100 to 200

The key is understanding **what you want to change creatively**, rather than simply making the image brighter.

---

# 🎯 Beginner Exercise

Take your camera or phone outside and photograph the **same subject three times**.

### Photo 1 — Aperture

If your camera allows manual controls, keep ISO and shutter speed relatively constant and change the aperture.

Try:

**f/2.8 → f/5.6 → f/11**

Look at how the background and overall brightness change.

### Photo 2 — Shutter Speed

Photograph a moving subject using:

**1/1000 → 1/250 → 1/30**

Observe the difference in motion.

### Photo 3 — ISO

Take the same photograph using:

**ISO 100 → ISO 800 → ISO 3200**

Zoom into the images and look for differences in **noise/grain**.

---

## 📝 What You Should Remember

Think of the Exposure Triangle like this:

**Aperture → controls light + depth of field**

**Shutter Speed → controls light + motion**

**ISO → controls brightness + image noise**

Once you understand these three controls, you'll have much more creative control over your photography.

### Next Lesson 📷

## 📸 Photography for Beginners — Lesson 2: Composition

Now that you understand the basics of the camera and exposure triangle, the next lesson is **composition**—how you arrange elements inside your photograph.

### 1. Rule of Thirds

Imagine your image divided into **9 equal sections**:

```text
┌───────┬───────┬───────┐
│ │ │ │
├───────┼───────┼───────┤
│ │ 👤 │ │
├───────┼───────┼───────┤
│ │ │ │
└───────┴───────┴───────┘
```

Instead of always placing your subject in the center, try placing it along one of the lines or at an intersection.

### 2. Leading Lines

Use lines to guide the viewer's eyes toward your subject.

Examples:

* Roads
* Bridges
* Buildings
* Fences
* Staircases
* Rivers

### 3. Framing

Put something around your subject to create a natural frame.

For example, photograph a person through:

* A doorway
* A window
* Tree branches
* An arch

### 4. Negative Space

Negative space is the empty area around your subject.

For example, if you're photographing someone looking toward the right, leave more empty space **in front of their face**.

This gives the photograph room to breathe.

### 5. Fill the Frame

Sometimes you should do the opposite—get close and remove distractions.

For portraits, try photographing:

* Face only
* Face and shoulders
* Upper body
* Full body

### 6. Change Your Perspective

Don't always photograph from eye level.

Try:

* **Low angle** → makes the subject feel powerful
* **High angle** → can make the subject feel smaller
* **Eye level** → natural and intimate
* **Side angle** → adds depth
* **Behind the subject** → creates storytelling

## 📸 Your First Assignment

For **AskJBoss Visuals**, take **10 photographs of one person**:

1. Center composition
2. Rule of thirds
3. Close-up
4. Full body
5. Low angle
6. High angle
7. Using leading lines
8. Using natural framing
9. With lots of negative space
10. Creative angle

Then choose your **best 3**.

For each one, ask yourself:

**“Where does my eye go first, and why?”**

### Next Lesson

# 📸 Photography for Beginners

If you're just starting photography, focus on **understanding light, composition, and camera settings** before worrying about expensive equipment.

## 1. Understand the Exposure Triangle

The three most important camera settings are:

### ISO

Controls your camera's sensitivity to light.

* **ISO 100–200:** Bright outdoor conditions
* **ISO 400–800:** Shade or indoors
* **ISO 1600+:** Low-light situations

Higher ISO lets you shoot in darker conditions but can introduce **digital noise/grain**.

### Aperture — f-stop

Controls how much light enters the lens and affects background blur.

* **f/1.4–f/2.8:** Strong background blur
* **f/4–f/5.6:** Good for general photography
* **f/8–f/11:** More of the scene in focus

For portraits, try **f/2.0–f/2.8** if your lens allows it.

### Shutter Speed

Controls how long the camera captures light and affects motion.

* **1/1000:** Fast action
* **1/500:** Sports/movement
* **1/250:** People moving
* **1/125:** General handheld photography
* **1/60:** Slow movement; camera shake becomes more likely
* **1 second+:** Requires a tripod for sharp results

## 2. Learn Composition

Start with these simple techniques:

**Rule of Thirds**
Imagine your image divided into nine sections and place your subject along the lines or intersections.

**Leading Lines**
Use roads, buildings, walls, railings, or other lines to direct the viewer's eye toward your subject.

**Negative Space**
Leave empty space around your subject to create a cleaner, more powerful image.

**Framing**
Use doors, windows, trees, arches, or other objects to naturally frame your subject.

## 3. Learn to See Light

Photography literally means **drawing with light**.

Look at:

* Direction of the light
* Hard vs. soft light
* Shadows
* Highlights
* Color temperature
* Golden hour

For beginners, **morning and evening light** can be much easier to work with than harsh midday sunlight.

## 4. Start With Portrait Photography

Since you're developing **AskJBoss Visuals**, portraits are a great place to start.

Try this exercise:

**Location:** Outdoors
**Time:** About 1 hour before sunset
**Subject:** One person
**Lens:** 50mm or equivalent if available
**Aperture:** Around f/2.0–f/2.8
**ISO:** Keep it as low as practical
**Focus:** The person's nearest eye

Take the same portrait from:

1. Eye level
2. Slightly above
3. Slightly below
4. Close-up
5. Waist-up
6. Full body

Then compare the results.

## 5. Don't Buy Too Much Equipment

You can start with:

* Camera or smartphone
* One good lens
* Extra battery
* Memory card
* Basic tripod
* Reflector

You **don't need an expensive camera to learn photography**.

The photographer's ability to understand light and composition is more important than having the most expensive equipment.

## 6. Practice Challenge for 30 Days

### Week 1 — Camera

Practice ISO, aperture and shutter speed.

### Week 2 — Composition

Take photos using rule of thirds, leading lines, framing and negative space.

### Week 3 — Lighting

Photograph the same subject in morning, midday, afternoon and evening light.

### Week 4 — People

Practice portraits, candid photography and storytelling.

At the end of each week, choose your **five best photographs** and study why they worked.

### 📸 The most important beginner rule

**Don't just take more photographs—study the photographs you take.**

Ask yourself:

> *What makes this image good? What makes it weak? Where is the light coming from? Where does my eye go first? What would I change next time?*

That's how you develop your eye as a photographer.

## 🔥 Trending Ways to Make Money in August 2026

If you're looking for **realistic ways to make extra income in Nigeria this August**, these are some of the strongest opportunities getting attention right now. Current Nigerian side-hustle coverage particularly highlights freelancing, AI-enabled services, e-commerce, UGC/content creation, affiliate marketing, social-media services, and digital products. ([Money.ng][1])

### 💰 10 Money-Making Methods to Try This August

1. **🤖 AI-Powered Freelancing**
Use AI to deliver writing, graphic design, video editing, research, SEO, presentations and marketing services faster.

2. **📱 UGC & Short-Form Video Creation**
Create TikTok, Instagram Reels and product videos for businesses. UGC is particularly attractive because you can earn from creating content without needing a huge following. ([Nairametrics][2])

3. **🛒 Social Media E-commerce**
Sell fashion, beauty products, electronics, food, accessories or other niche products through WhatsApp, Instagram and TikTok. E-commerce remains one of the more scalable options highlighted for Nigerian professionals. ([Nairametrics][2])

4. **💻 Freelance Digital Services**
Offer website design, digital marketing, SEO, graphic design, copywriting, virtual assistance or social-media management to local and international clients. ([Money.ng][1])

5. **🎯 Affiliate Marketing**
Promote useful products or services and earn a commission when people purchase through your referral.

6. **📚 Sell Digital Products**
Create ebooks, Canva templates, business templates, courses, CV templates, guides or other downloadable products.

7. **📲 WhatsApp Business Services**
Help businesses create catalogs, manage WhatsApp inquiries, advertise products and convert status viewers into customers.

8. **🎥 Faceless YouTube/TikTok Content**
Build educational, entertainment, finance, relationship, technology or storytelling channels using original content and AI-assisted production. Monetization takes time, so avoid “instant income” claims.

9. **🧠 AI Automation for Small Businesses**
Set up automated customer replies, appointment systems, lead collection, follow-ups and other workflows for businesses. AI automation and no-code services are attracting significant interest among entrepreneurs and freelancers. ([Reddit][3])

10. **🎓 Online Tutoring & Coaching**
Teach English, IELTS, mathematics, coding, design, marketing or another skill you already know.

### 🚀 Best 3 to Start With Little Capital

**If you have a smartphone + internet:**
**UGC + affiliate marketing + digital services**

**If you have a marketable skill:**
**AI-assisted freelancing + international clients**

**If you have some startup capital:**
**Niche e-commerce + social-media marketing**

> **Important:** There is no guaranteed “quick money” method. Sustainable online income generally comes from providing a useful service/product, building trust and consistently finding customers—not from paying for secret money-making schemes. ([Brands.Ng][4])

## Features

### For Members

**Discover page**
Browse member profiles with photos, age, city, bio, interests, and a compatibility score. Profiles load in pages ("View more") and are filtered by your match preference.

**Gender preference matching**
Set your own gender and choose who you'd like to see: the opposite gender (default) or everyone. Discover and match suggestions respect this automatically.

**Matches & Liked You**
See your mutual matches and the members who have liked your profile.

**Messaging with daily credits**
Chat with your matches. Free members get a daily set of message credits that refresh every day; the app prompts you to get more when you run low.

**Virtual gifts**
Send a paid virtual gift to another member with a personal message (paid via Paystack).

**Profile verification**
Request a "verified" badge. An admin reviews the request and approves or declines it; the member is notified by email either way.

**Profile pages**
Each member has a full profile page with photo, bio, interests, similar-profiles suggestions, a clickable location (opens Google Maps), and a "Report this profile" option.

**Registration & welcome email**
New members register with their details and receive an automatic welcome email.

**Contact & Advertise pages**
"Contact us" and "Advertise with us" forms, with automatic acknowledgement emails to the sender.

**Activity feed & notifications**
Members see recent activity: new matches, messages, likes, and profile views.

### For the Admin

A private admin area protected by a PIN (each login is logged and reported).

**Member management**
View all members, delete members, grant Premium days, and review verification requests (approve/decline).

**Admin notifications**
An in-app notification feed records new registrations, payments, reported profiles, contact/advertise form submissions, and admin logins. Optionally, these are also emailed to an admin email address.

**Editable email templates**
Six email templates (welcome, payment receipt, verification approved/declined, contact acknowledgement, admin alert) can be edited or switched off from the admin panel, using placeholders like `{{name}}`.

**Settings**
Configure the admin notification email and other app settings.

## How it fits together

1. A visitor opens the website (**React** frontend).
2. The pages request data from the **Express** server (e.g. "give me profiles to show").
3. The server reads/writes the **PostgreSQL** database and returns the data.
4. Payments go through **Paystack**; emails go out through **Resend**.
5. When published on Replit, all of this runs automatically with a production database — no manual setup needed.

That's the admin PIN — a password that protects your admin panel (screenshot 13 above).
The admin panel at /admin is where you manage the app: members, verification requests, notifications, email templates, and settings. Since only you should access it, it asks for a PIN before letting anyone in.
Your current PIN is: meetwell-admin
Type that into the "Enter admin PIN" box and press Enter to get in. Regular users of your dating site never see this page — it's just for you.
One heads-up: this PIN is currently written into the code, which isn't ideal for security once the app is live. There's already a task on your list (#8) to move it into a proper secret so it can't be guessed or found — worth doing before you launch.

Here are screenshots of all 13 pages, each presented above with a short description: 1. Discover — profile browsing with stats, badges, and ads 2. Matches — mutual connections and recent conversations 3. Messaging — chat with daily free credits 4. Profile page — bio, interests, clickable location, report option 5. Activity — matches, messages, likes, and views feed 6. Who Liked You — Premium-locked admirers view 7. Premium — plans and benefits, paid via Paystack 8. Settings — profile, match preference, verification, credits 9. Edit profile — photo and details with completeness meter 10. Contact us / 11. Advertise with us — enquiry forms 11. Registration — multi-step sign-up 12. Admin login — PIN-protected admin access # Meetwell — App Overview Meetwell is a dating web application focused on thoughtful, quality connections. Below is a full list of its features and the technology it is built with. --- ## Features ### For Members **Discover page** Browse member profiles with photos, age, city, bio, interests, and a compatibility score. Profiles load in pages ("View more") and are filtered by your match preference. **Gender preference matching** Set your own gender and choose who you'd like to see: the opposite gender (default) or everyone. Discover and match suggestions respect this automatically. **Matches & Liked You** See your mutual matches and the members who have liked your profile. **Messaging with daily credits** Chat with your matches. Free members get a daily set of message credits that refresh every day; the app prompts you to get more when you run low. **Premium membership** Upgrade to a paid Premium plan (via Paystack payment). Premium members get an ad-free experience and a Premium badge on their profile. Multiple plan durations are supported. **Virtual gifts** Send a paid virtual gift to another member with a personal message (paid via Paystack). **Profile verification** Request a "verified" badge. An admin reviews the request and approves or declines it; the member is notified by email either way. **Profile pages** Each member has a full profile page with photo, bio, interests, similar-profiles suggestions, a clickable location (opens Google Maps), and a "Report this profile" option. **Registration & welcome email** New members register with their details and receive an automatic welcome email. **Contact & Advertise pages** "Contact us" and "Advertise with us" forms, with automatic acknowledgement emails to the sender. **Activity feed & notifications** Members see recent activity: new matches, messages, likes, and profile views. ### For the Admin **PIN-protected admin panel** A private admin area protected by a PIN (each login is logged and reported). **Member management** View all members, delete members, grant Premium days, and review verification requests (approve/decline). **Admin notifications** An in-app notification feed records new registrations, payments, reported profiles, contact/advertise form submissions, and admin logins. Optionally, these are also emailed to an admin email address. **Editable email templates** Six email templates (welcome, payment receipt, verification approved/declined, contact acknowledgement, admin alert) can be edited or switched off from the admin panel, using placeholders like `{{name}}`. **Settings** Configure the admin notification email and other app settings. --- ## Technology Used | Part | Program / Service | What it does | |---|---|---| | Frontend (what users see) | **React** with **Vite** | Builds the website pages — Discover, profiles, settings, admin panel, etc. | | Page navigation | **Wouter** | Moves between pages (e.g. /discover, /settings) without reloading. | | Styling | **Tailwind CSS** | The visual design — colors, layout, typography. | | Backend (the server) | **Node.js** with **Express** | Handles all requests: profiles, matches, messages, payments, admin actions. | | Language | **TypeScript** | The programming language used for both frontend and backend (JavaScript with type-safety). | | Database | **PostgreSQL** | Stores all data: profiles, members, matches, messages, gifts, notifications, templates, settings. | | Database toolkit | **Drizzle ORM** | How the code reads and writes the database safely. | | Payments | **Paystack** | Processes Premium subscriptions and gift purchases. | | Emails | **Resend** | Sends all automatic emails (welcome, receipts, verification results, admin alerts). | | File storage | **Replit App Storage (object storage)** | Stores uploaded images such as profile photos. | | Hosting & publishing | **Replit** | Runs the app and its database; the Publish button puts it live on the internet. | | Project structure | **pnpm monorepo** | Keeps the frontend, backend, and shared database code organized in one project. | --- ## How it fits together 1.
