TaskMaster
==========

TaskMaster is a command-line task and project manager with full user authentication, custom logging, and persistent data storage. Designed to demonstrate clean architecture, modularity, and testability — it's built to scale and ready for integration into larger systems.

Features
--------
- User Registration & Login (with hashed passwords using bcrypt)
- Per-user Project Management
- Project-based Task Management
- Data Persistence with JSON files
- Custom Logging System for all modules
- Comprehensive Unit Tests
- Clean CLI Interface for task/project workflows

Tech Stack
----------
- Python 3.x
- bcrypt (for password hashing)
- shortuuid (for clean unique IDs)
- Standard libraries: os, json, datetime, unittest
