Anupam078/Project_CONNECT ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple modern app called Project Connect for local shopping.

I want a website where people can browse nearby vendors, see their products, add items to a cart, and place an order. Vendors should have their own shop page with a product catalog, and the app should make it easy for customers to discover local stores, shop quickly, and follow the order process through to delivery.

Please set up both the frontend and backend so the app feels complete and usable, with a clean home page, shop listings, product details, cart, and checkout flow. Make it easy to add or edit vendors and products on the backend, and include the basic connection between the client and server. If you need to check current setup details or best practices, look them up online and adapt the project to match. Keep the design polished, mobile friendly, and focused on helping local businesses get more visibility while making daily shopping faster for customers.
