Opening web interface with `/status` url

[markkubis]

So, basically React app is using react router for handling routes on a frontend side. On a backend side Express uses it's own router, with a distinction for WebApp(api and status) and ReactApp(/).

So, what's the problem. If you go to the main app route http://kyero-takebot.herokuapp.com/ everything works fine. If you click on a status your route will change to http://kyero-takebot.herokuapp.com/status which is also fine - frontend routing is working no backend involved. The problem occurs when you reload the page. Then it's not even hitting a frontend side because it's being catched by Express router and page is returning you a ok 200 instead of the react page.

In order to avoid it we can

a) Hide everything related to the react app under the app/* route
b) change a content type of the request for status

whatever suits you @LynxEyes

The idea of having the /status route returning OK was about having a route I could call repeatedly to know if the app is already up or not (when launching).
This is usually useful for launch coordination, but this app does not need it (yet).

In the end, I am not using that route at all :(

One thing we could do would be to rename that route to say healthcheck - I've seen a number of apps using this one instead.

Makes total sense. I will change it to healthcheck and we should be ok :)
