I decided to share my experience in building web applications by building a full stack web app I called it Job Board, Job board is a MERN Stack application with multi roles and features.

At the starting point, I created a repository on GitLab and wrote an overview of the app, including the roles and workflows. This overview is based on my initial perspective, which may change later. However, the important thing for me is to keep everything documented.
