ShopiFy is a modern, full-stack eCommerce web application built with a focus on clean, scalable code and an intuitive user experience. The app allows users to browse products, add them to their cart, and securely authenticate with the platform. The backend is built using NestJS, Prisma, and PostgreSQL, while the frontend utilizes React, TypeScript, Redux, and TailwindCSS for a responsive and interactive user interface.
