You can create a Strapi project using `npx create-strapi-app` or `yarn create strapi-app`, which will set up the backend for your application, including the admin panel and API. The Strapi documentation emphasizes its flexibility and extensibility through plugins, allowing developers to choose their favorite tools and frameworks while also enabling editors to manage and distribute content easily. After setting up the Strapi backend, you can start building the frontend using Nuxt.js, which will be integrated with the Strapi backend using a connection string. The tutorial aims to guide readers through creating a Notes Sharing Application with social authentication using Quill.js as the text editor, Nodemailer for emails, and infinite scrolling features.
