GraphQL nodes based off data from API call

-useReducer, useHooks, useState and useReducer

GraphQL! (gatsby)
-Custom Type Schemas from data sources
-Further customization on types based off of whether a
certain type of node was created or not
-Static/Page querying

With what I've experienced these past 2 months, I literally feel like a brand new person. I highly encourage everyone to start working on their personal projects/ideas; If not for a community or money at least do it for yourself. I feel great and I want y'all to feel it too
