TaskMaster - Modular Clean Architecture Android App

A comprehensive task management application built with Modular Clean Architecture principles, featuring Jetpack Compose UI and modern Android development practices.

🏗️ Architecture Overview

This project follows Clean Architecture principles with a modular structure that promotes:

• Separation of Concerns: Each module has a specific responsibility
• Testability: Easy to unit test individual components
• Scalability: Easy to add new features without affecting existing code
• Maintainability: Clear boundaries between layers
• Reusability: Shared components can be used across features
