This project is a simple decentralized notes application built on the Internet Computer using Motoko (for the backend canister logic) and React (for the frontend interface). It also includes authentication using DFINITY's AuthClient.
📌 Built as part of a course to explore Web3 development and understand how decentralized apps (dApps) work under the hood.
- 📓 Add and view notes (or data) stored on-chain.
- 🔐 Authentication using Internet Identity (DFINITY AuthClient).
- 🧠 Backend written in Motoko and deployed as a canister.
- ⚛️ Frontend powered by React, connected to the backend using generated interfaces.
- 🛡️ Authenticated users can perform actions linked to their
Principal.
