## What it is
A frontend starter boilerplate combining Webpack, React, Redux, Babel, PostCSS with CSS modules, autoprefixing, and hot module replacement, including a TodoMVC example. The author has explicitly abandoned it and recommends Parcel instead.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a react redux project with webpack
- starter template with css modules and postcss
- learn how to wire up webpack with react and babel
- hot module replacement setup for react redux apps
- example todomvc app with redux devtools

## When to choose
- you need a reference for an older webpack 3-era react/redux setup
- you want to study how the pieces fit together rather than start a new project

## When to avoid
- starting any new project in 2024 or later
- you want maintained tooling or security updates
- you prefer modern tooling like vite or parcel
