Background (What made you decide to build this particular app? What inspired you?)

I had learned react and various other things. So to prototype and increase my knowledge base I learned and used Material UI, Github Actions, Express, etc and used them to build a simple app.

---

How I built it (How did you utilize GitHub Actions or GitHub Codespaces? Did you learn something new along the way? Pick up a new skill?)

• I build the app in a Github Codespace.
• The React App was simple and I used Express for backend server to send data. I also implemented search with query parameter in express backend.
• I learned and used Material UI, Github Actions, Express, etc and used them in the app.
• I created basic Guithub Action CI test for errors before deploying after commit and another action for code analysis after commit.
