vstefan699-ai/MERN_Tut2 ? reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple MERN app with a clean frontend and a backend that talks to a database. I want to be able to add, view, update, and delete a basic set of records from the browser, with the changes saved properly on the server.

Please set up the whole project so it runs locally without a lot of extra work, and make the UI look decent and easy to use. Use the existing frontend and backend folders, wire everything together, and include whatever files are needed so I can start it and test it right away.

If anything is unclear, make sensible choices and keep it simple. Look up current docs online if you need to.
