Opening/Serving the Frontend locally:

REMEMBER: If you find yourself in some trouble going through this, reach out to us directly on our Discord server.

Prerequisites

1. NodeJS:
   Please install NodeJS >= 10.15.0. Which automatically installs NPM. If you already have them, you're good to go. ✔

2. EditorConfig:
   Please visit EditorConfig -> Download a Plugin section and scroll through to see if you need to install an additional Plugin/Extension for your code editor or IDE. If your IDE needs one, you should be able to find a link to that plugin/extension on that page.

   This prerequisite is directly related to the .editorconfig file in the root directory of this project.

   More About EditorConfig:
   EditorConfig helps maintain consistent coding styles for multiple developers working on the same project across various editors and IDEs. The EditorConfig project consists of a file format for defining coding styles and a collection of text editor plugins that enable editors to read the file format and adhere to defined styles. EditorConfig files are easily readable and they work nicely with version control systems.
