App architecture

Core feature (Find connections)

Finding connections between two people is the main purpose of this app. Using the depth-first traversal algorithm, the app can find a connection between any two people using their emails. Here is the people's graph you will find in the app:

The connection between bobby and paul would be: Bobby Fischer --> Vishwanathan Anand --> Magnus Carlsen --> Paul Morphy

Downsides

• The app does not find all connections or the shortest one, it just finds a connection.
• Redux store is not implemented with TypeScript.
