FileText Extractor

FileText Extractor is a Node.js web application that allows users to extract text from images, PDFs, and DOCX files. It provides registered users with the ability to store the extracted text in their user profiles. The application is built using Node.js, Express.js, MySQL for the backend, and SSR (Server-Side Rendering) for efficient rendering. Passport strategies are used for authentication, and the front end is built with React, MUI, and Styled Components.
