Full-stack TypeScript demo: Express API plus Vite/React pages with per-route SEO metadata

This template is a full-stack TypeScript app: an Express server alongside a React client built with Vite. React Helmet Async manages page-level titles and meta tags; Tailwind handles layout, LowDB stores lightweight JSON data, and Docker Compose is documented for a production-style run. The repo also points to SEO.md and developer notes for deeper detail.

When it is useful

You want a working reference for per-page titles and meta tags (via React Helmet Async) in a client-rendered React app, you are teaching basic SEO mechanics without adopting Next.js or another full server-rendered framework, or you need a small Express + React codebase to fork. You still own content, analytics, and search outcomes in production.

What you can do

  • Ship dynamic titles and tags from individual pages as implemented.
  • Use the sitemap and robots assets and scripts described in the project tree.
  • Develop with hot reload or run the container workflow from the GitHub repository.
  • Read SEO.md for how this sample approaches metadata and related practices.

Limits

  • A starter does not guarantee rankings; CWV, backlinks, and content matter as much as tags.
  • LowDB suits demos; serious traffic usually means a real database and caching strategy you add yourself.
  • Anything beyond the documented stack (auth, i18n, edge deploy) is custom work.

Frequently asked questions

What stack does this starter use?

It is a full-stack TypeScript app with an Express server and a Vite/React client. React Helmet Async manages page-level titles and meta tags, Tailwind handles layout, LowDB stores lightweight JSON data, and Docker Compose is documented for a production-style run.

How does it handle SEO metadata?

Pages set dynamic titles and meta tags with React Helmet Async. The project tree includes sitemap and robots assets plus a generate-sitemap script, and SEO.md covers how this sample approaches metadata.

Will this guarantee search rankings?

No. A starter does not guarantee rankings. Core Web Vitals, backlinks, and content matter as much as tags, and you still own content, analytics, and search outcomes in production.

Is LowDB enough for production traffic?

LowDB suits demos. Serious traffic usually means a real database and caching strategy you add yourself. Auth, i18n, and edge deploy beyond the documented stack are custom work.
