Current Documentation Issue

While setting up InPactAI for local development, I ran into a few issues, especially those involving backend setup, that I believe many new contributors might also face, these include incorrect setup guide in README.md for backend .env file placement, folder navigation, and a few more.

Proposed Changes

1. Update the README.md to include:

   • Clear instructions on when to navigate into which directory.
   • Proper clarification on where .env files should be created.
   • Notes for troubleshooting (possibly giving link to the discord server to seek help)

2. Add a short setup video (screen recording) that walks through:

   • Project setup.
   • Supabase project creation + credential extraction.
   • How to start the server (both frontend and backend)

Additional Context:

Incorrect guidance in README.md⬇️

@Saahi30 Thanks for the heads up, I have updated the issue to only make changes in the README file and removed the "CONTRIBUTING.md file addition" part. I won't create a separate CONTRIBUTING.md file in this issue's PR.
