No matter what i try i cannot get atom to connect to the create react app page ( http://localhost:3000/ ). I think it's halfway connected because atom-live-server isn't working correctly either.

This could be a terminal built into your text editor or just the terminal that comes on your machine. Then it will probably launch your browser automatically or you open one and visit http://localhost:3000/. You should not need to use the live-server feature of Atom.

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,738 PointsMaybe you're looking at the default page create by create-react-app. Does it say "Edit src/App.js and save to reload." below the React icon?

Front End Web Development Techdegree Graduate 84,738 PointsThat’s great. Then it’s working. You need to modify the React code to have it use the other code you wrote elsewhere in Atom.
