For Developers: Technical Overview

Privacy Protocol is a modern React application that provides a sophisticated frontend for privacy policy analysis. The application follows a clean architecture pattern where the React frontend handles user experience while delegating all complex analysis to the Base44 API backend.

🏗️ Architecture Overview

[User Browser] → [React SPA] → [Base44 API] → [AI Analysis Engine]

• React Frontend: Handles UI/UX, state management, and user interactions
• Base44 API: Processes privacy policies, calculates risk scores, manages subscriptions
• AI Backend: Performs natural language processing and policy analysis

🛠️ Technology Stack

• Frontend Framework: React 18 with Vite for fast development and building
• UI Library: Radix UI primitives with shadcn/ui components and Tailwind CSS
• State Management: React Context API with custom hooks for API integration
• Form Handling: React Hook Form with Zod schema validation
• Data Visualization: Recharts for analytics and trend visualization
• API Integration: Custom Base44 API client with caching and error handling

🚀 Quick Start for Developers

# Clone and setup
git clone https://github.com/BigBossBoolingB/PrivacyProtocol.git
cd PrivacyProtocol
npm install

# Start development server
npm run dev

# Open http://localhost:3000
