Running

This is a two part app, it has a frontend and a backend. As such there are two parts to running this app, for which you will need two terminal windows.

1. Switch into the app directory, run npm start. The Expo server should be running.
2. Switch into the backend directory, run npm start. This should start the API server, presuming there are no syntax errors.
