Every MERN project starts the same way.

You open a blank Express file. You think "auth can't be that hard." Three days later you're debugging why your refresh token works in Postman but not in the browser, your CSRF middleware is blocking your own requests, and Google OAuth is throwing a redirect URI mismatch at 1 AM.

I've been there. So I built the thing I wished existed.
