[PASTE PRD]

Create the TRD with these sections:
1. System overview (Simple explanation)
2. Tech stack choice (Simplest possible: HTML/CSS/JS, React, or no-code)
3. Frontend requirements (What tools? What framework?)
4. Backend requirements (Do we even need one?)
5. Database requirements (Simple: JSON file, localStorage, or Firebase)
6. API requirements (If needed)
7. Authentication requirements (If needed — keep simple)
8. Third-party integrations (Free tools only)
9. Performance requirements (Basic)
10. Security requirements (Basic)
11. Testing requirements (Simple manual testing)
12. Deployment requirements (Free hosting: Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages)

Keep the tech stack as simple as possible for beginners.
Explain every technical choice in beginner-friendly language.
If something is too complex, suggest a simpler alternative.
Only include what is necessary for the MVP.
