This repository serves the dual purpose of skill development and the creation of a practical mailing system. The main objectives are:
-
Skill Development: Enhance programming skills, explore new technologies, and gain practical experience in software development.

Current status of the project: in progress
At the moment, some image files need improvement. They do not all have the same extension. The extension of the project logo needs to be changed to a file with the extension .svg. In addition, the frames for the animations contained in the ScrollingSection need to be created in order to provide the right fluidity for them.
Room for improvement:
- Unification of image file extensions.
- Code optimisation and repair of minor errors.
To do:
- Creation of an English language version using rosetta
- Change from sqlite database to another.
- Development of tests.
