> I’m still searching for a zero-conf full-stack pipeline which could manage both frontend and backend in a single project under a single watch command

I did create a proof of concept how this could be done in parcel https://github.com/mochicode/parcel-fullstack-poc.

The /src folder contains:

1. /api => backend

2. /app => react frontend

3. /shared => shared code

Once everything is installed, just run "npm start" and it will:

1. build and watch your src folder

2. react hmr/fast-refresh works

3. nodemon will reload your node server when things change

4. serve your react app on localhost:8000/frontend, currently hard coded, but I could also load this from the package.json file.

Not zero-config, but it almost gets you there.
