Thank you everyone for all of the helpful ideas.
I def like the Component library and I will have to sit down and figure out
how to best work that into my application while it is still young.
All of the links have been consumed and I am starting to absorb more and
more. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and ideas with
me.
