Build me a simple full stack MERN app with a working frontend, backend, and database connection.

I want something clean and usable that shows the basics of a real app, like a home page, a form to add data, a list view to display it, and the ability to create, read, update, and delete items. Make the frontend feel polished and easy to use, and make the backend handle the API routes properly. If it helps, set up a few example endpoints and include a way to test them with Postman collections.

Please wire the client and server together so it runs locally without much setup, and make sure the app is organized in a way that’s easy to extend later. If you need to check current docs or best practices, go ahead and look them up online.
