⭐ Aether - AI Powered Productivity Website

A modern, full-stack productivity app (built using Next.js, React, Prisma, Tailwind, Redis and contanerized using Docker) designed to help you organize your notes, tasks, and events with AI assistance. This project demonstrates best practices in app architecture, database integration, CI/CD, and Docker-based deployment.

🚀 Features

• Notes: Rich markdown editor for quick note-taking.
• To-dos: Track and prioritize tasks, filter by severity/urgency.
• Events: Manage calendar events and deadlines; only future events surface.
• AI Enhancements: (Area for future extension!) Potential to integrate AI: auto-categorize notes, suggest events/tasks, or summarize content.
• Authentication: NextAuth-enabled user login.
• Offline/Cache-first: Responsive, fast, cached dashboard using Redis.

🧑💼 Use Cases

• Students & Professionals: Keep track of coursework, meetings, and personal tasks—all in one place.
