Highlights

• Minimal use of libraries, mostly coding be hand
• Accurate interpretation of design
• No lodash / minimal dependencies
• No CSS framework
• Hooks
• No redux
• Clear structure
• Typescript
• webpack / babel for backend enabling all ES6+
• Using all modern patterns, including async / await in the main loop
• Using in-mem sqlite eliminates the need for spinning up additional db
• data is loaded automatically
• Some api tests

Caveats

• No redux but surely hooks can fully drop-in replace them
• Obviously no react-router due to the app only having one page
• Didn't have time to properly style top-right select
• Didn't trouble to strip frontend from docker build, slightly increasing build time
• No frontend tests (sorry it's been quite long already)
• The api tests only covered REST layer so not much for unit-test
