## What it is
A full-stack JavaScript web app boilerplate combining VueJS 2, Express, MongoDB (Mongoose), and Webpack, with prebuilt features like user signup/login, OAuth, GraphQL via Apollo, i18n, and email. It is a starter repository meant to be cloned so developers only need to add their own business logic.

## Use cases
- start a new MEVN full-stack web app quickly
- boilerplate with user authentication and OAuth already wired up
- starter project with Vue 2 frontend and Express + MongoDB backend
- template with GraphQL Apollo server preconfigured
- kickstart a webapp without writing auth, profile, and email setup from scratch

## When to choose
- you want a ready-made Vue + Express + Mongo starter with auth, i18n, and GraphQL included
- you prefer a personal-style boilerplate you can fork and strip down
- you're building a prototype or hackathon project on the MEVN stack

## When to avoid
- you need Vue 3 or current-generation tooling (the project targets Vue 2, Node 10, Webpack 4)
- you want an actively maintained project with guaranteed updates and security patches
- you need a framework or library rather than a starter repo to maintain yourself
- your stack is not MongoDB/Express based
