I’m starting from a blank slate and need a complete web application built with React on the front end and a Node.js + Express stack on the back end, all powered by a MySQL database. The core features are classic yet essential: secure sign-up, login/logout flows, full CRUD on primary data objects, and an Admin-only dashboard that surfaces key metrics and management tools. A clean, modern, fully responsive UI is non-negotiable, as is a well-structured REST API that follows best practices for security and error handling. Every line of code should live in a Git repository with clear commit history so I can trace decisions and roll back if needed. Deliverables • Complete, production-ready source code (frontend, backend, and any build scripts) • MySQL database schema / migration files • Brief but usable documentation covering local setup, deployment, and API endpoints • Guidance on hosting the stack (e.g., environment variables, build commands, minimal server specs) If you’ve shipped React + Express projects before, understand relational data modelling, and write code that someone else can pick up without a scavenger hunt, let’s talk timelines and milestones. I’m flexible on schedule and budget as long as quality and clarity come first.
