React-Node-Mongo Project Setup
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
I have a zipped full-stack starter that includes a React frontend, a Node/Express backend, and a MongoDB connection. The immediate task is to get everything running exactly as intended so that I can review the codebase.
Scope of the first milestone
• Unzip the archive and spin up both layers:
– Backend:
cd backend → npm install → node server.js
– Frontend:
cd frontend → npm install → npm start
• Confirm the API talks to MongoDB and that the browser loads without errors.
• Walk me through the working copy (screen-share or short video). I will then pull the repo and test locally.
Current functionality is limited to pure coding scaffolding—no auth, dashboards, or data visualisation yet—so please focus on a clean backend setup first. React, Node, and Mongo experience is essential.
Looking ahead, once this baseline is stable we will layer in OpenAI features, Razorpay/Cashfree payments, and a refreshed UI, so build with extensibility in mind.
Deliverables
1. Running project (frontend + backend) demonstrated live
2. Brief setup notes or README tweaks if anything differs from the commands above
3. Answers to any quick questions I raise during the walkthrough
That’s all for this phase; speed and clarity matter more than heavy refactoring.
