Snailbook: The social network for Snails!

Snailbook is an example Buttery app built on Create React App and NodeJS. Snailbook uses exclusively TypeScript. Snailbook uses passport local strategy for authentication, and a very basic in-memory store.

Snailbook currently needs a few unpleasant workarounds to get working, but I'm actively trying to reduce these

• client/src/setupProxy.js is a workaround for CRA not forwarding channels effectively.
• client/src/App.tsx has an untyped field in the state, because it would be extremely unergonomic to type it well.
• server/src/LogIn requires introspection into the JSON structure of a Buttery message for username / password
• Neither client nor server compile on TS strict mode.
• client doesn't even buttery generate correctly, due to weirdness w/ the typescript compilation step.

... and a few other things.
