Component Reusability - Hackathon Project

This is a minimal working skeleton for the Component Reusability project:

• Backend: Node + Express (port 5000)
• Frontend: React + Vite (dev server, default port 5173)

Quick start:

1. Open two terminal tabs.
2. Backend:
   • cd backend
   • npm install
   • npm run dev
3. Frontend:
   • cd frontend
   • npm install
   • npm run dev
4. Open the frontend URL shown by Vite (usually http://localhost:5173)

Notes:

• The backend uses a simple JSON file (data/components.json) as the "database".
• Recycling centers endpoint returns dummy data. Replace with Google Maps/Places API in future if you have an API key.
• Add icons, images, and further polish for the hackathon presentation.
