-# "React" Assignment
-
-Create a learning resource that gives the user feedback – in other words, responds to the user's input/actions. Actions could include:
-
-* Clicking
-* Typing
-* Scrolling
-
-or lack of any of those things. Feel free to pick a new subject, or dive deeper with one you've already used.
-
-## Examples
-
-1. [Operation](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_(game)), which uses sound to inform the player they are doing something wrong.
-
-    [![Operation](http://img.youtube.com/vi/_6MAkLJ79LE/0.jpg)](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6MAkLJ79LE)
-
-1. An essay helper, where the user needs the their entry in a [`<textarea>`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/textarea) to have five paragraphs and be 300-500 words.
-1. An essay helper which prompts the user to make sure they are still paying attention if they haven't written anything in a few minutes, but has the option to pause (for dinner, bathroom breaks, and The Voice).
