Project structure
Two independent apps, not a workspace monorepo.
Despite what the repo README calls it, this is not a workspace monorepo.
There is no root manifest, no workspace configuration, and no shared
packages: backend/ and frontend/ are two independent apps with separate
installs, separate lockfiles (pnpm-lock.yaml in backend,
package-lock.json in frontend), and separate run commands.
.
├── backend/ # Node CommonJS app: Express 5, Mongoose, Socket.io
└── frontend/ # Vite app: React 19, Redux Toolkit, React RouterEach side is started and installed on its own, and either side can be
deployed without the other. The backend/ overview
and frontend/ overview describe what each
app owns. The repo root holds only docs, vercel.json (backend targeting —
see Hosting notes), and the two
.env.example templates.
