This project is structured such that multiple frontend and backend apps can co-exist. Frontend apps are stored in the <repo-root>/front subdirectory, each containing its own package.json. Backend apps follow a similar convention and are stored in <repo-root>/back/. The root of the repo also contains its own package.json which contains mostly utilities.
