MERN Stack Developer Needed: Local Event Finder & RSVP Web App

I need a small MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node) web application built — a local event finder where users can post events and others can RSVP. Think "mini Eventbrite" for a single community. Core Pages/Features Login/Signup — simple email + password auth (JWT) Browse Events — card-style list of events, filterable by category and date Event Detail + RSVP — view event info, RSVP button, live attendee count Create Event — form with title, description, location (plain text address, no maps API), date/time, category, max attendees My Events — dashboard showing events I created + events I'm attending Explicit scope notes (please quote based on this): No maps/geolocation integration — location is a plain text field only No payments or paid events No real-time features required (a simple refresh/poll for RSVP counts is fine) Single user role — no admin panel needed Tech requirements MongoDB Atlas (free tier) for the database Express/Node for the API React for the frontend Please deploy the finished app (e.g., Render, Railway, or Vercel + Atlas) so it's live and testable on delivery Clean folder/component structure + a short README explaining setup Deliverables Full source code (GitHub repo) Live deployed link Brief README (how to run locally, env variables needed) Budget: $100 Timeline: 3–5 days preferred Please share similar past MERN projects in your proposal if you have any.
