🚀 Habitrix — MERN Habit Tracking Web App

Habitrix is a full-stack MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) habit-tracking web app built as part of my On-the-Job Training (OJT) project.
It helps users build habits, track consistency, log moods, and visualize progress through clean UI and interactive analytics.

This project represents what I learned during my MERN journey — from designing the frontend in React, setting up backend APIs, integrating MongoDB, handling authentication, and building a user-friendly dashboard.
