Stop Wasting Time Setting Up Express + MongoDB — One Command and You’re Done

Hey devs 👋,

I got tired of setting up Express + MongoDB projects over and over again.
You know the drill:

• Install dependencies manually
• Set up boilerplate auth
• Configure Mongo connection
• Copy/paste the same folder structure

So I built something to make life easier:

npx bootnode <backend 0r app name>

You get:

• ✅ Express server (preconfigured)
• ✅ MongoDB connection setup
• ✅ Simple Auth boilerplate
• ✅ Sensible folder structure
• ✅ Ready to start coding features in seconds

Why I built this

I realized most of us don’t want to waste 2 hours wiring up the same configs.

We just want to get to the “fun part” — building real features.

Try it out

💡 I’d love for you to try it and give feedback.
Think of it as “backend boilerplate in a box.”

*Challenge: * Can you build a REST API in under 60 seconds? ⏱️
Try BootNode and let me know how it goes!
