skgitstor/mern-notes-app ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple notes app where I can add, view, edit, and delete notes in a clean interface.

I want the frontend in React with a nice minimal layout and a form to create a new note, plus a list of saved notes that refreshes right away after any change. Each note should be editable and removable, and the app should pull the latest notes from the server when it loads. Use a Node and Express backend with MongoDB for storage, and keep the API straightforward for getting, creating, updating, and deleting notes.

Please make it easy to run locally, separate the client and server clearly, and include basic styling so it looks polished without being overdone. If you need to check current docs for anything, go ahead and look them up online.
