React
All state hooks should be right after the constructor, then stack useEffects, followed by component functions, and finally the JSX return statement when possible.
Avoid writing extensive logic into useEffects write as functions that can be called in the useEffect when possible
Don't use redux or the database to hold information only being used within one component
When writing supporting components write them to be ambiguous so they have the potential to be used outside of application they were created in.
