solankirahul45/mern-stack-app ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple full stack MERN app with a React frontend and a Node and Express backend connected to MongoDB.

I want a clean starter project that actually runs end to end, with the frontend talking to the backend through API routes and the backend handling basic data storage. Please set it up so I can easily add a real feature later, and include a nice landing page, a simple form, and a list or dashboard view so I can see data coming back from the server.

Make the app easy to start locally, with clear setup and run steps. If you need to check current best practices or docs online, go ahead. Keep the code organized, readable, and ready for me to extend without having to rebuild the structure first.
