This project has been deployed to Render, a free hosting service that provides automated builds and deployments. The application is configured to automatically rebuild and redeploy whenever there is a merge to the main branch. This ensures that the latest changes are always reflected in the live environment without any manual intervention. You can access the live application by clicking View Demo. If you encounter an issue, please contact us at Contacts
Important Note: As this application is hosted on a free service, the demo may take up to 50 seconds to respond if it has been inactive. This is due to the hosting service temporarily pausing the application to save resources. Thank you for your patience!
