challenges

we selected methods, that included new technologies to us all.
- "leap of faith": coding with python.
- no previous experience.
- raspberry pi can be a little capricious at times.
- still loving our precious pi though.
- cannot open spotify browser version w/ Raspberry Pi.
- thus 30 sec song previews.
- We encountered some difficulties styling React Native.
- still managed to produce a complete app.
