    The Rick and Morty API site

    I currently have a Node.js web server that serves JSON data deployed on Heroku, but I also want a front-end where it has a landing page and explains what endpoints there are (basically documentation I guess), etc. (My end goal is to have something like the Rick and Morty API)
