The Flask server and REACT frontend code for the LineWaiter app
Table of Contents
Welcome to Line Waiter! With this web app, you can post a listing if you would like to pay someone to come wait in line for you (think those long food truck lines)! On the flip side, if you want to make some extra cash, come here for an easy, low-effort way to do so.

- Next open in your preferred IDE (we used Pycharm)
