The code challenge on the application is just a base64 encoded string that once you decode it is a lambda URL. Once you decode it and go to the URL it is some markdown with instructions. The instructions have another lambda URL that you go to plus instructions that there is a 3rd hidden URL within the HTML on the page rendered by the 2nd URL. You have to filter a bunch of DOM nodes based on matching some conditions of attributes, which lead you to yet another lambda URL. This final URL just returns a string and the instructions state to build a simple react app in CodeSandbox that fetches the string and displays it with a typewriter effect using only React APIs (and not CSS). The submission is just the "flag" that you captured (which is just the string that the last lambda URL returns) and the link to your code sandbox.
