      <description>&lt;p&gt;## 🎯 Project Overview&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’m excited to share my latest personal project: a Coffee Store CRUD App built with the MERN stack and Firebase Authentication! This was a great opportunity to sharpen &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fpyiqybqjyxfyc2myrm2a.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fdev-to-uploads.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fuploads%2Farticles%2Fpyiqybqjyxfyc2myrm2a.png" alt="Image description" width="800" height="345"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;my skills in full-stack web development while diving into concepts like Context API, state management, and code structuring in a real-world scenario.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;*&lt;em&gt;Features:&lt;br&gt;
*&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Browse coffee types: Public view for all visitors.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;User authentication: Register/Login using Firebase Auth.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;CRUD functionality: Add, Edit, Delete coffee items (only for logged-in users).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;User management: View and manage other users.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Backend:&lt;/strong&gt; Built with Express.js and Node.js, connected to a MongoDB database.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Although the app doesn’t have complex role-based access control, it focuses on clean authentication and CRUD operations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;📌 Tech Stack:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;React.js&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Firebase Authentication&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Node.js&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Express.js&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;MongoDB&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Tailwind CSS&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
