-# FastAPI Application
+# Notes Management Platform
 
-This is a FastAPI application bootstrapped by BackendIM, the AI-powered backend generation platform.
+A platform to store and download notes in various formats.
+
+## Features
+
+- Create, read, update, and delete notes
+- Export notes in different formats:
+  - Markdown (.md)
+  - Plain text (.txt)
+  - PDF (.pdf)
+- Search notes by title or content
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **Framework**: FastAPI
+- **Database**: SQLite
+- **ORM**: SQLAlchemy
+- **Migrations**: Alembic
+- **Export**: Markdown, WeasyPrint (PDF)
+

+
+## Setup and Installation
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.8+
+- pip (Python package installer)
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Clone the repository
+
+2. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   pip install -r requirements.txt
+   ```
+
+3. Run database migrations:
+   ```bash
+   alembic upgrade head
+   ```
+
+4. Start the application:
+   ```bash
+   uvicorn main:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload
+   ```
+
+## API Usage
+
+Once the application is running, you can interact with the API using the Swagger UI at:
+```
+http://localhost:8000/docs
+```
+
+### Available Endpoints
+
+- `GET /api/v1/notes` - List all notes (with optional search and pagination)
+- `POST /api/v1/notes` - Create a new note
+- `GET /api/v1/notes/{note_id}` - Get a specific note
+- `PUT /api/v1/notes/{note_id}` - Update a note
+- `DELETE /api/v1/notes/{note_id}` - Delete a note
+- `POST /api/v1/notes/{note_id}/export` - Export a note to a specific format
+- `GET /health` - Health check endpoint
+
+## Development
+
+### Linting
+
+The project uses Ruff for linting and formatting:
+
+```bash
+ruff check .
+ruff format .
+```
