Challenges and things learned!

• Improved my skills with React! Made use of useState, and useEffect to render and update components.
• Learned to use async and await instead of fetch to make API calls.
• Used the date input in a form.
• Learned about Date and epoch time, and figured out how to convert it to a standard yyyy-mm-dd format.
• Would like to improve backend skills so I can hide my API keys server-side.
