🔧 Configuration Features

Brand Management

  logo: string,           // Logo image path

📚 Documentation Created

  1. README.md - Complete project documentation
  2. CONFIGURATION.md - Detailed configuration guide
  3. QUICK-START.md - 5-minute setup guide
  4. LICENSE - MIT license for open source

🎨 Example Configurations

  1. example-taskmaster-config.ts - Productivity app example
  2. example-shopsmart-config.ts - E-commerce platform example

🚀 Development Tools

Configuration Switcher

  • Script: /scripts/switch-config.js
  • NPM Commands: 
    npm run config:default      # Cal AI (original)
npm run config:taskmaster   # TaskMaster Pro
npm run config:shopsmart    # ShopSmart E-commerce
npm run config:help         # Show help

🎯 How It Works

Before (Hardcoded)

// Multiple files with hardcoded text
<h1>Smart scheduling powered by AI.</h1>
<p>Cal AI transforms your speech...</p>
<img src="/cal.svg" alt="Cal AI Logo" />

After (Centralized)

// Single config import
import { appConfig } from '@/config/app-config';

// Dynamic content
<h1>{appConfig.hero.title}</h1>
<p>{appConfig.hero.description}</p>
<img src={appConfig.brand.logo} alt={`${appConfig.brand.name} Logo`} />

🎨 Customization Process

5-Minute Rebrand

  1. Edit /src/config/app-config.ts
  2. Replace images in /public/ folder
  3. Update image paths in config
  4. Refresh browser ✨

Example: TaskMaster Pro

// Change this in config file:
brand: {
  name: "TaskMaster Pro",
  tagline: "Master your productivity with AI"
}

// Automatically updates entire site!
