+### Packaging for use with separate React
+
+For using with React and React DOM from a CDN or as separate minified scripts, you can build
+files with UMD module support as follows:
+
+    npm install
+    npm run build:umd
+    npm run build:min
+    
+This will build two archives into the /dist folder
+
+To see what's going on under the hood, you can use webpack directly:
