## What it is
A seed/skeleton project for building AngularJS single-page apps backed by an Express and Node.js server. It preconfigures Angular libraries, Jade templating, and a directory layout so developers can clone and start building immediately.

## Use cases
- start a new AngularJS app with an Express backend
- scaffold a Node.js web application skeleton
- learn how to wire Angular client-side components to an Express server
- serve Angular partials with Jade templates
- bootstrap a full-stack JavaScript project quickly

## When to choose
- you are maintaining or learning a legacy AngularJS + Express codebase
- you want a minimal, pre-wired AngularJS/Express starting point
- you need a reference for structuring Angular with server-side Jade templates

## When to avoid
- you are starting a new modern web project (AngularJS is end-of-life)
- you need an actively maintained scaffold with tests and tooling
- you prefer modern stacks like React, Vue, or current Angular with build tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: web-framework, templating, boilerplate
- domain: web-development, frontend, backend, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: angularjs, express, seed-project, starter-template, jade, javascript, boilerplate, nodejs, web-server
