## 📝 Guidelines

- Follow the existing code style. Use Tailwind CSS with shadcn components.
- Use the below color scheme with the respective CSS variable placed in the `className` of a div/component.
- Place all API routes in the `main-axios.ts` file. Updating the `openapi.json` is unneeded.
- Include meaningful commit messages.
- Link related issues when applicable.
- `MobileApp.tsx` renders when the users screen width is less than 768px, otherwise it loads the usual `DesktopApp.tsx`.
