sakariyekaamil/Mern_Stack_Final ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple MERN stack app that has a backend and a frontend, with the two parts working together smoothly.

I want a clean starter project I can open and run right away, with a basic home page on the frontend and a small API on the backend that shows the connection is working. Please make the setup easy to use from the root of the project, and include whatever startup steps are needed so I can launch both sides without confusion.

If anything is missing or unclear, use sensible defaults and keep it simple. Make the app feel finished enough that I can extend it later, and if you need current setup details, check the latest docs online.
