laravel/react-starter-kit — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a clean starter web app using this Laravel and React setup. I want it to feel like a modern app foundation that I can reuse for future projects, with Laravel handling routes and backend pages, and React making the front end feel smooth like a single page app.

Use the stack this project is meant for, Laravel, Inertia, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind, Vite, and shadcn style UI components. Make the first screen look polished, with a simple welcome page, a basic app layout, navigation, and a few reusable UI pieces so it doesn’t feel empty.

Please keep it simple and maintainable. Don’t add random product features that aren’t needed. I mainly want the project wired up correctly, styled nicely, and ready for someone to start building a real Laravel app on top of it. Look up the current Laravel starter kit docs online if you need to.
