Thanks for putting this together. Feature request: A branch that includes redux. https://github.com/reactjs/redux

I'm using this: https://github.com/chentsulin/electron-react-boilerplate

I find it excellent.

vulpino 10 years ago | |

I'll look into it, thank you!

The reactuate react+redux+stuff stack may provide useful prior art therefore.

"Gets the stupid work done so you can actually make something." I really like that line. I hate boilerplates in general but that line just draws me in to use it.

I thought all the cool kids were using webpack instead of browserify now?

glifchits 10 years ago | |

And using npm scripts instead of gulp?

progx 10 years ago | | |

You use npm scripts instead of grunt not gulp. ;)

Nice. I built something similar recently, though not as fleshed out. It does use webpack for hot reloading on save: https://github.com/KevinGrandon/electron-boilerplate

And here is another popular boilerplate: https://github.com/chentsulin/electron-react-boilerplate

Nice - I do a lot of 2-4h small projects and every month I waste time upgrading my boilerplate. I'll test this, but I love the concept.

Feature requests: - react-router - optionally, bootstrap - easy to build & push on github (e.g., default configure with /#/ urls

vulpino 10 years ago | |

Thanks! I'll definitely look into react-router / bootstrap.

And that's the same reason I built this - I have a lot of electron apps I want to build, but no quick starting point. I'm glad it's something others are finding useful as well!

I'm not a user of any of those stacks, but I love the name! :)

It's a Pokemon name.

Sounds like a stack Reggie Watts would create.

But then there is the node/js fronted community to one up everyone.

Does your stack manage complexity, or add too it... Why is such a stack necessary. I bet you don't even ARIA bro...

The current state of js libraries may be a bit unfortunate and often frustratingly complex to manage. That's no reason to get all snappy though – the rails stack has about the same number of components, they're just integrated more tightly.

This looks like a nice OSx app as webapp development stack.
