‘notes’
- This folder is for your personal notes, ideas, and documentation unrelated to any specific project.
- It can be a place to jot down code snippets, learning resources, or any other information that you find useful in your development journey.

‘scratch’
- This folder is for experimentation and quick code prototyping.
