## What it is
A companion code repository for a YouTube tutorial series teaching how to build a full-stack MERN (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) application called 'Memories'. The app is a simple social media platform where users can post interesting life events.

## Use cases
- learn the MERN stack from scratch
- build a full-stack social media app with React and Node.js
- understand how React connects to an Express and MongoDB backend
- practice CRUD operations with Redux and MongoDB
- follow a step-by-step full-stack web development tutorial
- see a complete MERN project structure with client and server

## When to choose
- you are a beginner wanting a guided full-stack MERN tutorial
- you learn best by following along with video walkthroughs
- you want a reference implementation of React + Redux + Express + MongoDB integration
- you need a starter example of a social media posting app

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready social media application
- you want actively maintained code with a license and security updates
- you are not interested in the MERN stack specifically
- you need features beyond basic post creation, liking, and editing

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: web-framework, database, state-management, api-framework
- domain: web-development, tutorials, social-media
