-A collaborative code snippet manager powered by GraphQL, built on Laravel 10 and PHP 8.2. Share, discuss, and collaborate on code effortlessly.
+# Code Snippet Manager
+
+Code Snippet Manager is a tool designed to simplify the process of managing and sharing code snippets among developers. It leverages Laravel 10, PHP 8.2, and Redis for caching to provide an efficient and user-friendly platform for developers to store, retrieve, and collaborate on code snippets seamlessly.
+
+## Features
+
+- **GraphQL API:** The core of this tool is built around a GraphQL API, allowing developers to interact with the system using a flexible and powerful query language.
+- **Snippet Management:** Easily create, update, delete, and retrieve code snippets. Each snippet is associated with metadata such as title, description, tags, and language for efficient organization.
+- **Search and Filtering:** Quickly find the snippets you need using search queries and filtering options based on tags, language, and more.
+- **User Authentication: Secure user authentication and authorization are integrated, ensuring that only authorized users can access and modify their own snippets.
+- **Sharing and Collaboration:** Share snippets with other developers by generating unique links, allowing for easy collaboration and discussion.
+- **Caching with Redis:** Utilize Redis for caching to optimize the performance of the application, ensuring fast response times even during peak usage.
