Really nice! I use reflux right now but I think I am going to give Redux a try for my next pet project.

In case anyone is interested of a similar one using reflux coffee, hapi,webpack with hod reloading (no undo): https://github.com/rrecuero/coffee-react-webpack-hapi-templa....

Yes me too. I think redux is pretty cool having started using it for a react native app. One thing that is slightly weird is that they suggest your single global state is shaped the same was as your reducers then you connect either top level components or others up via their props to specific parts of the state.

Redux is very simple and more of a pattern than anything; I do definitely think it's better than Reflux.

I think it is too. Its simplicity is what allowed me to create `redux-undo` as it is - it's basically a function that returns a new reducer function which is enhanced with undo-functionality.

So much more can be done with this concept - and it's nothing special - sometimes making things simpler is the best way to solve a problem. Redux is a great example for that.

I'm afraid I have no idea what I'm looking at...

It's a boilerplate for a project that uses react (https://facebook.github.io/react/), redux (https://rackt.github.io/redux/) and redux-undo (https://github.com/omnidan/redux-undo).

I've configured it so that it uses hot reloading (only refresh the parts of the web app that changed) plugins that also show the error in the browser while you're developing.

Does that clear it up a bit? :)

It does; thank you.

I am still not entirely sure what all of those technologies do, but I read the blurbs, and have a very basic understanding.
