+# Spec: Home Page with MUI Components
+
+## Ticket
+Gitea: crisleo-hermes/job-tracker#2
+Kanban: t_e6936299
+
+## Overview
+Build a home page at route `/` using Material-UI (MUI) components that displays the last three job updates and dashboard metrics, with a button to create a new job application.
+
+## Pages
+
+### HomePage (`/`)
+- AppBar with title "Job Tracker"
+- Dashboard metrics cards row (total applications, interviews, offers, rejection rate)
+- Last 3 job updates displayed as cards
+- "Create New Job Application" button (navigates to creation flow)
+- Loading skeleton while data fetches
+- Error snackbar on API failure
+- Responsive Grid layout
+
+## API Endpoints Consumed
+
+| Method | Path | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| GET | `/api/updates/latest/` | 3 most recent JobUpdates with nested job info |
+| GET | `/api/updates/metrics/` | Dashboard metrics (total, status breakdown, interviews, offers, rejection rate) |
+
+### Response Shapes
+
+**GET /api/updates/latest/**
+```json
+[
+  {
+    "id": 1,
+    "job_id": 1,
+    "company_name": "Acme Corp",
+    "position_title": "Software Engineer",
+    "from_status": "APPLIED",
+    "to_status": "INTERVIEW",
+    "notes": "Moving to next round",
+    "created_at": "2025-01-15T10:00:00Z",
+    "metrics": {"response_time_days": 5}
+  }
+]
+```
+
+**GET /api/updates/metrics/**
+```json
+{
+  "total_applications": 12,
+  "status_breakdown": {"APPLIED": 5, "INTERVIEW": 4, "OFFER": 2, "REJECTED": 1},
+  "interviews_count": 6,
+  "offers_count": 2,
+  "rejection_rate": 8.3
+}
+```
+
+## Components
+
+### `AppLayout`
+- MUI `AppBar` with `Toolbar`, `Typography` ("Job Tracker")
+- Wraps child content via `Outlet` from React Router
+
+### `UpdateCard`
+- MUI `Card` → `CardContent`
+- Displays: company name, position title, status change (`from_status` → `to_status`), created date, metrics summary
+- Props: `JobUpdate`
+
+### `MetricsPanel`
+- MUI `Grid` container with metric `Card` items
+- Each metric: total applications, interviews count, offers count, rejection rate
+- Props: `DashboardMetrics`
+
+### `LoadingSkeleton`
+- MUI `Skeleton` components mimicking the home page layout
+
+## Data Fetching
+
+Custom hook `useDashboardData` using React's `useEffect` + `useState`:
+- Fetches from `/api/updates/latest/` and `/api/updates/metrics/` concurrently (`Promise.all`)
+- Vite proxy: `/api` → `http://localhost:8000/api`
+- States: loading, error (with error message), data
+
+## TypeScript Types
+
+```typescript
+interface JobUpdate {
+  id: number;
+  job_id: number;
+  company_name: string;
+  position_title: string;
+  from_status: string | null;
+  to_status: string;
+  notes: string;
+  created_at: string;
+  metrics: Record<string, unknown>;
+}
+
+interface DashboardMetrics {
+  total_applications: number;
+  status_breakdown: Record<string, number>;
+  interviews_count: number;
+  offers_count: number;
+  rejection_rate: number;
+}
+```
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [x] Home page at route `/`
+- [x] MUI components exclusively (AppBar, Typography, Card, Grid, Button, Skeleton, Snackbar)
+- [x] Last 3 job updates: job ID, status, creation date, metrics
