Agnita: Authentication for Create React App using AWS Cognito

The Agnita project is a proof of concept implementation using Amazon Cognito and create-react-app.

The name Agnita comes from Latin and means recognized. The name was chosen in close relation to Cognito. Finding a suitable name took me quite some time and is utterly useless.

      What would you like to see as a follow up story? More AWS stuff or more React stuff?

        Great question! I particularly liked this because I was recently experimenting with moving from Firebase Auth to Cognito. When I played with it a couple of years ago it was new and severely lacking, so I've been meaning to try it out again.

        I've personally been using React since the beginning, so unless it's React Native (which I'm learning), or a React codebase integrating with an interesting external service, I probably won't be as interested. But that's just my personal situation, I know there are a ton of React developers out there looking for info.

        As for AWS, I've been interested in experimenting more with Lambda. I've also considered looking into their Amplify service since I'm just getting started with React Native. Again, these are just my current areas of interest.
