ReactStarter is a simple starter kit for those wanting to play around with React without having to go through the process of installing it's dependencies and configuring the required build tools.

Webpack is the chosen tool for building and serving this app - it seems to be the most popular within the React community. It has been configured to use Babel to transpile your ES6 and JSX for the browser. It also uses React Hot Loader so that you can make changes to your React components and watch them update automatically in the browser without losing your app state.
