Q: How much time should this project take to complete? A: There is no set timeframe to complete this project. However, we think that this should not take more than 10 hours to complete.

Q: I don't use React! Is this an automatic failure? A: No. If you are not familiar with React, you may code the front end portions using standard markup in erb templates. However, we highly recommend using React if possible.

Q: I don't use CSS precompilers. What now? A: Although we strongly recommend using Sass, if you are not comfortable with them the CSS may be reconfigured to render normally. Simply change the application.scss file to application.css and add any styles you would use there.

Be sure to document the pseudocode as well, so that we know what is a known issue versus an actual error.
