🎯 Killer Feature #2: Projects

Projects = persistent context Claude conversations ke liye.

How It Works:

1. Project banao — koi bhi naam (e.g., "MERN App")
2. Files upload karo — docs, code, references (200K tokens worth!)
3. Custom instructions set karo — Claude ko bata project ke baare mein
4. Conversations create karo — sab project context use karte hain

Real-World Use:

Project: "UrduCoder Blog"

Uploaded files:
- existing-posts.zip (sample MDX files)
- writing-style-guide.txt

Choose Claude If:
