 ==== App Structure Overview ====
-Both the frontend and backend are programmed in Typescript which is executed by the [[https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-node |ts-node]] package; Typescript is a type safe, and more structured superset of the javascript lanugage (ES6/ES12-ES2021). We use Yarn on the frontend and backend also, to install packages (like ts-node) and run a local development server.
+The frontend (The visuals you see in your internet browser) is made in React, which is programmed in Typescript; Typescript is a type safe, and more structured varient of the javascript lanugage (ES6/ES12-ES2021).
+The backend is also programmed in Typescript, and runs on a Node.JS server. The backend is responsible for calculations and data processing, in order to provide the frontend with data it can use immediately. A GraphQL server is used in the backend, to provide structured and secure access to the data in our Database.
-A GraphQL server is used in the backend, to provide structured and secure access to the data in our Database. We've not currently chosen a server to serve the backend code to the client, therefore, the project only works locally from development enviroments.
 Our database is implemented in Postgres, which is a relational database that uses SQL.

 ====Backend====
-=== Packages ===
+=== GraphQL (Apollo) ===
-== ts-node ==
-[[https://www.npmjs.com/package/ts-node |ts-node]] is a typescript execution engine that allows us to write this project as typescript instead of javascript. ts-node is essentially a `source-to-source compiler` / `transpiler`, as it  turns one language into another, i.e. typescript into javascript.
-== GraphQL (Apollo) ==
 We use [[https://www.apollographql.com/ |Apollo GraphQL]] as our implementation of GraphQL.
 ([[https://odyssey.apollographql.com/ |Tutorial here]])
-== cross-env ==
-[[https://www.npmjs.com/package/cross-env |cross-env]] is used for setting the environment mode the project is run in, in a OS independant way. It is used in the package.json file.
-[[https://www.npmjs.com/package/blipp |blipp]] is a simple hapi plugin to display the routes table to console at startup.
