🎯 Project Purpose

I built DevEvent to create a real-world application that goes beyond the typical tutorial apps. The goal was to combine:

• Modern frontend design
• Server + client components
• Image uploads
• Database modeling
• Real API routes
• Caching and performance techniques

A platform for real developer events, not just placeholders.
