## What it is
A boilerplate/starter template for building full stack web applications with React on the frontend and Node.js/Express on the backend, bundled with Webpack. It includes dev tooling like webpack-dev-server, Babel, ESLint (Airbnb rules), Prettier, and Nodemon for hot reloading and auto-restarts.

## Use cases
- start a full stack react and express project
- boilerplate for react nodejs app with webpack
- template with hot reloading for react and express
- full stack javascript starter with eslint and prettier
- serve react frontend from express backend in production
- alternative to create react app with visible webpack config

## When to choose
- you want a customizable full stack React + Express setup with explicit webpack configuration
- you need dev and production modes with hot reloading and a single production server
- you want Airbnb ESLint rules and Prettier preconfigured

## When to avoid
- you prefer Create React App, Vite, or Next.js with minimal config
- you need a TypeScript setup out of the box
- you need an actively maintained template - the repo has had no releases since 2022 and no license
