## What it is
Mega Boilerplate is a starter project generator for Node.js web applications that scaffolds customizable project setups. It lets developers pick any part of their stack — web framework, database, CSS preprocessor, and client-side JavaScript framework — to generate a ready-to-use codebase.

## Use cases
- generate a node.js web app starter project
- scaffold an express app with mongodb or postgresql
- bootstrap a react or angular project quickly
- create a hackathon starter project with a custom stack
- set up a jekyll or middleman static site boilerplate
- kickstart a full-stack web app without manual setup

## When to choose
- you want a fully customizable node.js web app scaffold
- you need a quick starting point for a hackathon or prototype
- you want to mix and match frameworks, databases, and preprocessors

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained templates with modern tooling
- you target languages or platforms beyond node.js
- you prefer opinionated, batteries-included frameworks over generators
