Using the No as a Service API

Overview

This project demonstrates how to use Express to handle basic CORS errors when making a request to an API that implements CORS.

Unlike the Quote Card Express assignment, this project does not serve a static site on the same port. Instead, we will serve our front-end using the Live Server VS Code extension.
