Overview

This project is created using Create React App, a popular tool for bootstrapping React applications. It provides a set of scripts and configurations to help with the development, testing, and deployment of the app. Create React App aims to simplify the process of setting up a React project and provides a curated feature set suitable for small to middle-sized deployments.

Features

• Development Mode: The app can be run in the development mode using yarn start. It opens a browser window at http://localhost:3000 and automatically reloads the page when any edits are made.
• Test Runner: The interactive watch mode can be launched using yarn test. It helps in running tests and provides real-time feedback during development.
