A boilerplate generator, that scaffolds out an isomorphic multipage Node/Express/React web app. Really all this does is clone the template, exact-template.

"Exact" is EXpress + reACT, for lack of a better name.

npx create-exact-app my-app-name
cd my-app-name
npm run dev
http://localhost:3000 in browser

The template distills what I've learned over several years of building isomorphic multipage React apps at both FAANG and non-FAANG companies. Learn more about the template on the exact-template npm page.
