I double-checked the Vercel docs (https://vercel.com/docs/git)
confirming that deployments in the Hobby (free) plan require a public
repository on GitHub. The Vercel website (https://vercel.com/pricing)
promises furthermore that the Hobby plan offers automated deployments
from imported repositories.

Sweet! Thanks a lot for these changes.

  1. I made a commit to fix the stuff on gitbook. I ran npm run generate:gitbook-summary which outputs the structure needed in the sidebar, and then manually copied the react section into SUMMARY.md (which is a gitbook file that they use to populate the sidebar). Once the pages are in the sidebar, they are classed as "internal gitbook pages" so then the links on the readme link properly to the gitbook page (rather than github). I just made a small tweak to make all the link formats consistent (see my commit).

  2. I don't have any ideas for week 4 assignment. Would you like to create a separate issue for that, and see if we can get anyone else to volunteer some ideas?

What makes this optional?

I don't think i'm the biggest fan of optional content, since it's not very explicit to a mentor whether they should cover it or not.

I'd either commit to it, or write clear expectations underneath to explain why or why not to teach it. But i lean to the former option, if possible.

One argument for optional content is that time during a lesson can fly. Or there can be time left in the end. Both happened to me before. In that case an optional topic is nice.

But I agree with the sentiment. The program should feel complete and ideally shouldn't have variables.

Perhaps I was lacking confidence making it required, because it is kind of a backend topic. I removed the optional prefix. I think that's the best "fix" for now.

You will not be impressed though doing a repository-wide search for "optional" 😅

Haha, sorry to hold you to that standard then, if we have done it in so many other places! Appreciate your perspective on it, that's a fair point. Let's move it forward for now anywayz.
