Hi everyone,

I have been assigned to the issue #12 . I’ll be working on setting up the initial project structure using Next.js, TypeScript, and Tailwind. I’ll keep the discussion updated as I make progress.

Looking forward to contributing!

Hi! Lets do some brainstorming suggest anything else which can also be the part of documentation before we start coding stuff

Hi @MuhammadMuazAhmed ,
I’m working on Issue #12 for the initial Next.js setup.

Since the root of the repository already contains existing files (like Readme.md, Contributors.md, and Documentation/), initializing Next.js directly in the root causes conflicts.

To avoid overwriting or removing any existing files, would it be okay if I initialize the Next.js frontend inside a single subfolder named web/?
This would keep the setup clean and isolated.

Please let me know if you’d prefer a different approach.

Thanks!

[AlishbaSaboor]

Or, even if you prefer the setup to be in the root directory, I can temporarily remove the existing files, initialize the Next.js project, and then restore the files afterwards. I’ll proceed based on whatever approach you’re more comfortable with. @MuhammadMuazAhmed

[MuhammadMuazAhmed]
