Subject: [PATCH] docs: fix README typos and add .gitignore

Fix spelling errors in README.md:
- "your" -> "you're"
- "aswell" -> "as well"
- "Expecially" -> "especially"
- "connext" -> "connect"

Add .gitignore to exclude node_modules, .env files, build output,
and OS/IDE artifacts from version control.
