Show HN: Sapling is a business-ready TypeScript, Express.js, React boilerplate (sapling.bumpkin.solutions)

Development of real applications can and should be simpler. Existing solutions focus on the problems that are the most fun to work and that give the appearance of creating a working app quickly but don't deal with the real issues that arise when building a business quality application. Worse, many of these problems have known solutions which are never applied.

Sapling propels you, the developer, forward by generously applying known solutions and innovative ideas, allowing you to tackle problems that should be simple with unprecedented facility and tackle hard problems rapidly and without distraction. It's a MERN boilerplate that lets you soar.
