 ## Architecture
 
 The codebase follows a standard React.js structure, with static assets being contained in the `public` folder, while dynamic components and their styles are contained in `src`. The app uses client-side routing (with `react-router`), meaning that the only HTML file needed to be served is a `index.html` file.
