## What it is
A Golang starter kit for building isomorphic React single-page applications with server-side rendering via the goja JavaScript engine. It bundles Redux, react-router, css-modules, hot reloading, and the echo web framework into a single Makefile-driven development workflow.

## Use cases
- bootstrap a react app with golang server-side rendering
- render react components on the server in pure go without node
- scaffold an isomorphic universal javascript app with redux
- set up hot reloading react development with a go backend
- build an SPA with seo-friendly server-rendered meta tags
- embed static assets into a single go binary

## When to choose
- starting a new isomorphic react/redux project with a go backend
- you want SSR without running a separate node.js server
- you prefer a single-terminal, Makefile-based dev workflow

## When to avoid
- you need an actively maintained template with current react/webpack versions
- you target windows
- you use modern tooling like vite or next.js
- starting a non-react or non-redux project

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: ssr, web-framework, state-management, routing, templating, build-tool
