A website and user system starter. Server side is built with hapi.js. The front-end is built with React. Redux as the state container. Client side routing with React Router.
I've iterated twice on these kinds of projects. First was Drywall and the latest is Frame. Drywall includes a front-end and Frame is just an API. Finding a happy medium of features is tricky. Some choices limit your audience quite a bit.
Drywall [https://github.com/jedireza/drywall]
Drywall is limited to people who're ok using Grunt instead of Gulp or Backbone instead of _______, etc...
Frame [https://github.com/jedireza/frame]
I created Frame to appeal to a larger audience. And because all the front-end opinions were removed it plays nicer since you "bring your own front-end". Interestingly enough, now I'd like to provide Postgres as well as Mongo db connections.
In general these projects are interesting and I think serve best as examples of apps beyond the absolute basics. Once you make an app yours, it'll probably go in it's own direction quickly.
This is the second iteration of creating a user system boilerplate/kit. The first was Drywall which you can find on my GitHub page. I'd love to know what you like and what sucks.
I find it interesting that there is little to no conversation about the integration with git. In one of the the screenshots I saw a branch name and icon in the bottom status bar. I assume this is an important motivation for GitHub.
I'm happy to hear this. It was nice of Bjørn to build the node API in the first place. It's great that this became the official API, congrats all around.
