Build me a simple full stack app with a frontend and a backend, something clean and easy to use.

I want the frontend to let a user view, add, edit, and delete items in a basic list, and I want the backend to store that data and serve it through a simple API. Keep the design modern but minimal, make it responsive, and make sure the app works smoothly from the first page load through saving changes.

If you need to look up current docs or best practices while wiring it up, go ahead. Please set it up so I can run the frontend and backend separately and test the whole flow end to end.
