An exploration for personal use (ES6, browserify, watchify, browsersync, sass, npm instead of gulp...).

Ready for use, refactoring to latest versions of dependencies complete, React, ReactDom, React Router with axios data fetching from REST API server exposed by node/express server/bootstrapper. Coming soon: Redux managing app state and data, then auth and universal version.
