• 💼 Domain Layer:

  • Contains business logic and use cases
  • Defines repository interfaces
  • Pure Kotlin with no Android dependencies

• 🖼️ Presentation Layer:

  • Contains screens, ViewModels, and UI state management
  • Utilizes Jetpack Compose for declarative UI
  • Implements unidirectional data flow with Kotlin Flows

• 🎨 UI Layer:

  • Contains theme definitions and color systems
  • Implements Material 3 design principles

• 💉 DI Layer:

  • Provides dependency injection setup with Hilt
  • Ensures proper separation of concerns
