[Feedback] Directory naming ambigouos

Hi, thanks for the great tutorial!

The only thing that confused me a little was the difference between “your projects directory” and “From the root of the project”.

In the step “Initialize a new backend” it says “From the root of the project, run”. I wasn’t sure if this refers to the root of the react app that was referred to before (“Now that we’re in the root of the project”) or the parent folder that I considered the actual root of my project, referred to before as “From your projects directory”.

Since it sounded ambiguous and my (beginner’s) expectation was that the overall project would live outside of the frontend directory, I ran “amplify init” in the parent directory. But know I think that’s not intended, because amplify init placed aws-export.js in the …/src instead of ./src

I think I figured it out now, but future readers might benefit from a clarification in the tutorial.

Keep up the great work!

Hello,

I would like to fix this small issue in the docs.

As per my understanding the amplify init command should be run while being in the react-amplified folder.

I think just clarifying that folder name wherever the term root of the project (2 instances) is used should give a clear understanding of the directory structure.

Thank you.
