Did you use any functional stateless components? What for?	Yes, we used a functional stateless component for the Status component, because the state can be handled by App so it doesn't need a class
Did you use any container components? What for?	App can be considered a container components for Status. It manages the creation of and data sent to Status, a presentation component. Presentation components are only responsible for displaying data, not managing their own state.
Do you have any recommendations on how we could improve this project for the next cohort?	It would be interesting if we could have used the APIs we built for the project. A working demo introduced at the beginning would be swell!
