I'll convert the project to use pure React instead of Next.js. Let me update the structure and remove Next.js specific features.

Perfect! I've converted the entire project to use pure React instead of Next.js. Here are the key changes I made:

Key Changes from Next.js to React:

1. Project Structure

✅ Removed Next.js specific files and configurations
✅ Added standard React project structure with src/ folder
✅ Added public/index.html for React app entry point

2. Dependencies & Configuration

✅ Updated package.json with React-specific dependencies
✅ Added Tailwind CSS configuration (tailwind.config.js, postcss.config.js)
✅ Configured React Scripts for development and build

3. Routing

✅ Replaced Next.js routing with React Router DOM
✅ Implemented client-side routing with BrowserRouter
✅ Added proper navigation with Link components

4. Components & Context

✅ Removed Next.js specific imports ("use client" directives)
✅ Used standard React imports and component structure
✅ Maintained Context API for theme management

5. Styling

✅ Configured Tailwind CSS for React (not Next.js)
✅ Added proper CSS imports and configuration
✅ Maintained all custom styles and animations

How to Run:

Backend:

cd server
npm install
npm run dev

Frontend:

cd client
npm install
npm start

Access:

Frontend: http://localhost:3000
Backend: http://localhost:5000
