Stop wasting time configuring MERN: I built a production-ready TypeScript boilerplate

Setting up a new MERN stack project is always the same boring routine:

  1. Create folders.
  2. Configure TypeScript types.
  3. Set up Tailwind CSS.
  4. Fight with ESLint configs.

I got tired of doing this manually every weekend. So, I spent the last few days building a "perfect" starter kit called MERN Launchpad.

It is an opinionated, production-ready boilerplate designed for speed and type safety.

⚡️ What's included?

  • Frontend: React + Vite + TypeScript
  • Backend: Node.js + Express + TypeScript
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS v3 (Pre-configured)
  • API: Custom Axios instance with interceptors
  • Security: Helmet & CORS ready

📂 How to get it

I'm giving it away for free (Pay-what-you-want) on Gumroad to help other developers skip the setup phase.
