📌 Usage

Stop using spreadsheets.

Job hunting is chaotic enough without having to manage a 50-column Excel sheet that you hate looking at. InternTrack (or TRACKr) is a unified, visually distinct dashboard designed to bring sanity to your job search.

We built this because we believe your tools should be as ambitious as your career goals. With a Neo-Brutalist design language, it's bold, high-contrast, and impossible to ignore—just like your application should be.

✨ Features

• Unified Dashboard: View all your applications in one place.
• Kanban-Style Tracking: Move applications from "Applied" to "Interviewing" to "Offer" (and yes, "Rejected").
• Neo-Brutalist Design: A unique, high-contrast UI that stands out from the sea of generic Material Design dashboards.
• Secure & Fast: Built with modern best practices for security and performance.
