✨ Features

🚀 Frontend

Built using Vite and Tailwind CSS for blazing-fast performance and modern design. The platform has three main pages:

1. Hero Page (/)

   • A visually appealing landing page with animations and cards explaining the AI-powered automation process.
   • A Get Started button that navigates users to the form page.

2. Form Page (/main)

   • Collects user details like email, password, job role, and cover letter.
   • On submission, sends data to the backend and shows a loading spinner until processing is complete.
   • If successful, navigates to the final success page.

3. Success Page (/final)

   • Displays a “Successfully Applied” message with a clean design.
   • Includes options to Apply Again or visit the application link.
   • Protected from direct access — can only be reached after a successful form submission.

🔥 Backend

Built with Node.js and Express.js, ensuring secure and efficient handling of user data:

• Security: Implements Helmet.js for added HTTP security.
• Cross-Origin Requests: Enabled using CORS.
• Body Parsing: Uses express.json() and body-parser to handle JSON data.
• Routes:
  • POST /apply: Receives user data (email, password, role, letter), validates inputs, and processes the application through an automated Puppeteer bot.
  • GET /: Basic test route to check if the server is running.

🔒 How It Works

1. User Flow:

   • Users land on the Hero Page → click Get Started → fill out the form on Main Page → data is sent to the backend → on success, users are taken to the Success Page.

2. Automation Flow:

   • The backend processes form data using Puppeteer to log in to Internshala and submit applications automatically.
   • The app only allows navigation to /final if the form submission is successful — users cannot access it directly through the browser.
