🧠 MemoryMeld – Personal Memory Tracker

MemoryMeld is a full-stack web application that enables users to securely store and organize their personal memories. Each memory is auto-tagged using the OpenAI API to improve searchability and organization. The app uses Angular for the frontend, Node.js and Express for the backend, and MySQL for data storage.

🔑 Note: You must obtain your own OpenAI API key from https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys and add it to the .env file:

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key_here

## 🔧 Step 1: Clone the Repository

```bash
git clone https://github.com/abhinavkeesari/memorymeld.git
cd memorymeld

🖥️ Step 2: Set Up the Backend

cd memorymeld-backend
npm install

Create a .env file in the memorymeld-backend directory with the following content:

DB_HOST=localhost
DB_USER=your_mysql_username
DB_PASSWORD=your_mysql_password
DB_NAME=memorymeld
JWT_SECRET=your_jwt_secret
OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key

Create the MySQL database:

CREATE DATABASE memorymeld;

-- Create 'users' table
CREATE TABLE users (
  id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  email VARCHAR(255) UNIQUE NOT NULL,
  password VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

-- Create 'memories' table
CREATE TABLE memories (
  id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
  user_id INT NOT NULL,
  content TEXT NOT NULL,
  tags TEXT,
  created_at TIMESTAMP DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
  FOREIGN KEY (user_id) REFERENCES users(id) ON DELETE CASCADE
);

Start the backend server:

node index.js

Backend runs at: http://localhost:3000

🌐 Step 3: Set Up the Frontend

cd ../memorymeld-frontend
npm install
ng serve

Frontend runs at: http://localhost:4200
