Two repositories enable independent deployment (backend on EC2, frontend on Vercel), separate team workflows, different tech stacks, and a clean API contract as the only coupling between frontend and backend.
React, TailwindCSS for styling, Redux Toolkit for state management, React Router for client-side routing, Axios for HTTP requests, and Socket.io client for real-time chat.
Clone both repositories, run npm install in each, copy .env.example to .env and fill in the MongoDB URI and JWT secret for the backend, and the backend API URL for the frontend. Then run npm run dev in both.
