Just playing around, comparing various technologies.

Backend:

<install python 3>
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd backend
./manage.py makemigrations
./manage.py createsuperuser
./manage.py runserver

Frontend:

cd frontend
npm install
webpack -w

View: React: localhost:8000/ Grqphiql: localhost:8000/graphiql Rest Docs: localhost:8000/api Admin: localhost:8000/admin

This backend/frontend split was not quite the right organizational structure.
