Its come to the point where if I run into a problem during my project, it just so happens that wittcode has made an entire video that I can follow with absolutely zero issues. 5 times now, Ive run into an issue or tried to do something that I thought would be simple just for my google search to pop up a wittcode with the exact task im doing. You are freaking awesome man

note for linux users - when using npm install -g you will need to use sudo npm install -g instead, as modifying the node_modules directory requires root or sudo privilages.

I tried implementing this, but using your video "Create a React App WITHOUT Create React App" for client. I got stuck at adding proxy. I fixed by adding the proxy to the wepack.config.js devServer. Is this because I didn't use create-react-app? Thanks for the videos.
