Pro-Tips for this Repository:

1. requirements.txt: Ensure you have generated this file in your backend folder by running pip freeze > requirements.txt. This allows others to install your dependencies easily.
2. CORS Settings: In your settings.py, make sure your CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS includes your Vercel URL so the React app can talk to the Django app.
3. Link them up: Now that you have both READMEs, anyone visiting your backend can easily find the frontend, and vice-versa.
