MEARN Stack Journey

This repository documents my MEARN Stack learning journey, starting from absolute zero.

I intentionally began with HTML & CSS, even in the AI era, because I wanted a strong foundation before moving forward.

What I’ve Learned So Far

• HTML

  • Page structure
  • Proper div nesting

• CSS

  • Core CSS concepts
  • Layout building
  • Background image handling (cover, positioning)
  • Animations using motion-related properties
  • Card design and box-based layouts

• CSS Framework

  • Bootstrap basics

• Project

  • Spotify Clone
    (Most challenging so far — took ~6 hours and improved my layout & CSS confidence a lot)

---

Learning Style

• Daily commits (consistency matters)
• Commit messages are mostly in Hindi — easy to read and sometimes funny 😄
• I try not to use AI tools for coding, focusing on learning by doing
  (README is the only exception)

Current Goal

• Finish JavaScript before the end of January
• Continue completing the MEARN stack step by step
