Developer Notes

For some reason, the API is returning 4 to 6 days depending on the users time, I couldn't find any parameter on the documentation page to fix this up.

create-react-app makes very simple to configure a dev React environment, we don't need to concern about installing and configuring Webpack, Babel, Test frameworks, deploy scripts or any stuff related to that. create-react-app scaffold all the complexity and let we concern only about the app code, giving us a way lighter and organized folder structure. Although, if needed npm run eject can be used to remove the project under the framework scaffold and put it in an usual webpack/babel setup.
