This is awesome. Thank you! I learned so much from the react 🙂
It would be great if you could also create react and fastapi (since it's a lot easier to learn) using perhaps mongodb

[programmingtech]

Thanks. Your vedio is very helpful to start react and Django

[mikeross]

this was a very nice tutorial but instead of passing the notes down as props you could have used the context api its more maintainable that way

[maazshaikh]
