What is NotesApp?

NotesApp lets you create, read, update, and delete notes that sync to the cloud via Firebase Firestore. No local storage, every note is fetched live from the database. Built to learn how Firebase integrates with a Jetpack Compose UI in a real project.

Features

• Create Notes -> Add a title and content via the Insert Note screen
• Read Notes -> All notes fetched live from Firestore and displayed on the home screen
• Update Notes -> Edit any existing note via the MoreVert (⋮) menu
• Delete Notes -> Remove notes with a single tap from the options menu
• Splash Screen -> Clean branded entry screen with a short delay
• Loading State -> Progress indicator while Firestore data is being fetched

What I learned building this

• Integrating Firebase Firestore for real-time cloud CRUD operations
• Navigation Compose with a sealed class for type-safe routes
• Handling loading and error states during async Firestore calls
• Building a dark-themed UI from scratch with Jetpack Compose
• Managing unique document IDs for update and delete operations
