+## Love Story Backend (Node + TypeScript)
+
+A lightweight Express API that powers the couple-themed front-end shown in the mockups. It includes photo uploads, chat history with playful bot replies, preset hero/banner text, love-letter storage, and simple game card metadata.
+
+### Getting started
+1. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+2. Start the development server (watch mode with TypeScript):
+   ```bash
+   npm run dev
+   ```
+3. Or build and run the compiled server:
+   ```bash
+   npm run build
+   npm start
+   ```
+
+The API listens on `http://localhost:8080` by default and serves uploaded photos from `/uploads`.
+
+### Key endpoints
+- `GET /api/health` – health probe.
+- `GET /api/hero` – banner names, subtitle, and badge text.
+- `GET /api/stats` – summary counts for love days, photos, chats, and letter date.
+- `GET /api/game-cards` – metadata for the three game cards.
+- `GET /api/memories` – list of uploaded photos (in memory during runtime).
+- `POST /api/memories` – upload a photo (`photo` field) with optional `caption`.
+- `GET /api/chat/history` – conversation history.
+- `POST /api/chat/message` – send a message and receive a contextual bot reply.
+- `GET /api/love-letter` / `PUT /api/love-letter` – retrieve or update the shared letter.
+
+Uploads are stored on disk under `uploads/` (created automatically) and served as static files. The service keeps data in memory for simplicity; restart the server to reset state.
