This application is a refactoring of my original Node.js Express `Socket.io` app
using the `EJS` (`Embedded JavaScript`) templating engine for the front end. I
finally got to replacing `EJS` with `React`. It is still being hosted on Heroku,
but has been structured in such a way that only one script is required to run
the application instead of two. Heroku no longer provides a free tier, but the
lowest cost per month is low enough for me. $5! And that is also $1 less than
the lowest cost for hosting applications on Digital Ocean: $6/month. Much less
hassle, and Heroku is compatible with my Apple M1 Max chip MacBook Pro!

I recently upgraded this project to React 18 using functional React components
AND hooks. For state I use the `useState` hook, for side effects the `useEffect`
Hook, and the `useCallback` hook to prevent infinite function calls to the
function created to fetch the data from the `JSONPlaceholder API`.
