Open-Source Backend Starter Cuts Boilerplate for Express.js Devs
A developer released Backend Starter, a production-ready Express.js template that includes authentication, security, and user management out of the box. The open-source project bundles JWT, 2FA, CSRF protection, and role-based authorization to save setup time. Future plans include OAuth, Redis, Docker Compose, and Swagger support.
