This project is for the purpose of learning about integrating these three technolgies: Django, PostgreSQL, and React. It will also use Django Restframework and axios. As I've gone on to add more, this project has added some TypeScript, React-Redux, Formik, and Yup during the process of learning another method of authentication.
