React Ts Boilerplate

Overview

The React Boilerplate has garnered attention as a solid starting point for building scalable web applications using React and Redux. This template, however, is currently not being maintained, which raises some concerns for developers looking for a long-term solution. The document highlights several areas for improvement and enhancement, such as adding prop types and renaming the project to better reflect its intended use with TypeScript.

While the foundation provided by this boilerplate is strong, it does come with its quirks, especially when integrating ImmutableJS and maintaining proper typings across reducers. Developers should be mindful of these challenges but can benefit from the solid structure offered by the boilerplate for their projects.
