### Tufnel Notes

tl'dr - update GlobalState as a functional component > class component - get that working, then update dependencies one at a time so breaks are decipherable
#### Main issues

1. Written in class components
2. Dependencies are old & have weird behaviors
3. ##### Central Issue (once this is resolved, everything else should still work)
- GlobalState file (re-written as a functional component > class component)
- finalize the functional component
- Currently React 16.13

#### Other difficulties (Update these for devs working on this project going forward)

1. Node / Truffle versions are 3-years old
2. bnc-notify package is causing some strange behavior (took it out completely)

#### Move the needle

- re-write as a functional component
- rewrite GlobalState
- how long should this take?
- guess-timate - x-hours?
- iterative transition to functional components
- Start the FE from scratch?
- next.js
- packages would be more up to date
- Postgres db issues (provide more context here)
- approving events
- Wallet compatability

### Personnel Needs
