Coding style

The coding style for backend and frontend should be consistent. For helping and verifying that, we have go and js linters.

For linting the backend and frontend, use the following commands (respectively):

make backend-lint

make frontend-lint

The linters are also run in the CI system, so any PRs you create will be tested for compliance with the coding style.
