## What it is
A highly scalable, offline-first React application boilerplate with Redux, Redux-Saga, styled-components, i18n, and a focus on performance and developer experience. It includes CLI-based scaffolding for components, containers, routes, and tests, plus a Create React App template variant.

## Use cases
- start a new react project with redux and sagas already configured
- scaffold react components and containers from the cli
- set up an offline-first progressive web app foundation
- bootstrap a react app with styled-components and i18n
- get hot reloading and instant feedback during react development
- create a react app template with best practices baked in

## When to choose
- starting a medium-to-large React SPA that wants Redux and Redux-Saga conventions
- you want a batteries-included setup with i18n, offline support, and testing preconfigured
- you value quick scaffolding of components, containers, routes, and tests

## When to avoid
- you prefer modern tooling like Vite or Next.js, since the project still references webpack 4 and its latest release was 2023
- you want a minimal starter you can configure yourself
- your stack uses state managers other than Redux
