To Run Application

Once you clone the application, simply run yarn && yarn start within your terminal. By default, the app runs on localhost:8080

For this project, I decided to use Snowpack as a bundler. This is a newer JS bundling platform that allows for faster rebuilding of an application upon saving.
A simple LineChart was created to show trends using react-vis. This is Uber's open source data-viz library which is provides a ton of customization options.
For Common UI components, I used the Chakra UI library. This is a newer library that I've been very impressed by. It's emphasis is delivering a library that has full accessibility, easy themeing, and is fully composable. While it is a newer library, it's ease of use and built in accessibility makes it a great tool.
I used React and managed all state through Context and Hooks. This is largely done for both time to deliver and to demonstrate react knowledge.

I would move all calls to the Finnhub API through to a thin API layer to better hide the Finnhub token, cache the commonly called information, and consolidate information.
There are no unit tests in this application, due to wanting to demonstrate React and front-end knowledge on a wide variety of levels.
- Preferred testing tools are:
  - Jest for test framework
  - @testing-library for unit tests
  - cypress for e2e tests
  - CI through Teamcity or Github Actions to keep track of when failures happen.
While the usage of React context here works for this fairly simple app, as it grew the scalability may suffer. If this was being maintained long term, I would want to set up either a Redux store or use the built in useReducer hook to handle larger more scalable state management.
There are a few API calls that could certainly be cleaned up through better caching and storage of information from Finnhub.
