buckyroberts/React-Redux-Boilerplate
Awesome React / Redux boilerplate and tutorial.
A bare-bones React/Redux/Sass starter from the thenewboston YouTube channel, circa 2016-era tooling. It exists to accompany a tutorial series, not to be a production starting point. If you're watching those videos, it makes sense; otherwise it doesn't.
The folder structure separates actions, reducers, and components clearly, which is good for learning Redux's mental model. The README is short and accurate — it doesn't oversell. It ships with Sass wired up via webpack, which saves a configuration step for beginners.
The repo is frozen in 2016 — webpack config is v1 style, no hooks, no functional component patterns, React and Redux versions are ancient. The pre-compiled bundle.min.js is checked into source control, which is a red flag for any real project. No tests anywhere. Last meaningful commit was years before the 2023 touch, which appears to be a metadata bump. Anyone starting a new React project should use Vite and modern tooling instead.
