The central logic for:
- Managing state for all notes
- Adding new notes
- Passing props to child components
Handles:
- Display and editing of individual notes
- Save and cancel edit functionality
- Download and delete actions
Style rules for both global layout and specific components. Uses:
- Flexbox and Grid for layout
- Media queries for mobile responsiveness
- Custom themes and hover effects
The app is responsive and mobile-friendly:
- For screens ≤ 500px width, layout switches to a vertical scrollable format.
- Buttons and text areas adapt size and spacing for comfortable mobile use.
This app can be used as a:
- Quick notes manager during work or study
- Idea board for creative writing or journaling
- Task list manager (lightweight TODO app)
- Reference tool for learning React CRUD operations
Although the app works well, here are a few future enhancements that can be added:
- 🌐 LocalStorage/IndexedDB support for persistence
- 📦 Export all notes as a ZIP or single file
- 🔍 Search/filter functionality
- 💾 Backend support (e.g., Firebase or Express)
- 🌓 Dark/light theme toggle
- 🗂️ Tagging or categorization of notes
