Create React App

This starter is simply the out of the box Create React App with a few of the key additions you will need to have a full functioning app running on a server.

Create React App ReadMe is very comprehensive, use that for help on how to run and tweak things under the hood.

React Router v3 is used for client side routing.

ExpressJS is used to put the Production Build from Create React App into a server environment for the server side routing.

Docker is used for deployment to a wide variety of web hosts.
