Template Philosophy

This template follows the "learn then build" approach:

  1. Learn Phase: Explore examples, understand patterns
  2. Clean Phase: Remove examples, start fresh (optional)
  3. Build Phase: Create your application with best practices

The clean template script bridges the gap between learning and building, providing flexibility for all skill levels.
