NOTE: There will be some warnings displayed in the terminal in the browser.
These are the webpack dev server telling us that some of our dependencies
are not providing licenses. This is expected. Simply close the warning
overlay and you should be able to verify the UX/UI components included in
the demo application.


# Make sure the README, NOTICE, and LICENSE are present and correct


# Send a response to the vote thread indicating a +1, 0, -1 based on your
