Frontend Process
Welcome to my frontend process for eru, where the focus shifts from the finished backend to building the user-facing experience on top of it.
This section will document how the frontend takes shape, from the first interface ideas and structure decisions to the implementation details that connect the UI to the existing backend API.
The goal is to show how the project continues beyond the backend foundation and evolves into a complete product with both functionality and presentation.
