Key Design Principles

• 🔒 Separation of Concerns: Clear boundaries between UI, business logic, and data
• 🔄 Dependency Inversion: High-level modules don't depend on low-level modules
• 🎯 Single Responsibility: Each module has one reason to change
• 🔌 Interface Segregation: Clients depend only on interfaces they use
• 🧪 Testability: All business logic is easily testable
• 📱 Responsiveness: Mobile-first design with progressive enhancement
