Replace the placeholder icons in /public/:

• icon-192.png - 192x192 PNG

For Android adaptive icons, you'll need to create maskable variants.

• /capacitor.config.json - backgroundColor in splash screen config
• /index.html - theme-color meta tag

Architecture

• React 18 - UI framework
• TypeScript - Type safety
• Tailwind CSS - Styling with mobile-first utilities
• Lucide React - Icon system
• Capacitor - Native mobile wrapper
• Vite - Build tool
