## Project Structure
The codebase follows these principles:
- **Simple**: Keep things straightforward
- **Modular**: Separate concerns into distinct modules
- **Reusable**: Abstract common functionality
- **Tested**: Unit tests for all components
## Contributing
When adding features:
1. Look for existing similar functions to abstract
2. Write unit tests
3. Keep components small and focused
4. Follow the modular architecture
