veer2003-git/mern2-project ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple MERN app that lets a user manage a basic list of entries from start to finish. I want a clean homepage, a form to add new items, a list to show saved items, and the ability to edit and delete them. Keep the UI simple and easy to use, and make sure the backend saves everything properly so it still works after refresh.

Set it up so the frontend and server work together smoothly, with clear code that is easy to understand and extend later. If you need to check the latest docs for anything, go ahead and look them up online. Also make sure the app runs without extra hassle, and include anything obvious I would need to get it started locally.
