Overview:

The react-universal is a react starter kit that focuses on handling universal rendering and provides additional features. It aims to serve as a living specification for building web applications. The starter kit already includes several essential technologies such as babel, react, react-router, redux, koa, express, graphql, and flow type checking. However, some features like react-relay, a database, and testing are yet to be implemented. The author has made the decision to remove the terminal UI for a cleaner output.

babel: Includes support for ES2015+.
react: Provides the core library to build user interfaces.
react-router: Enables client-side and server-side routing.
redux, react-redux, redux-devtools, and redux-thunk: Offers state management capabilities.
koa: Used for the client server.
express: Used for the graphql and development server.
graphql, graphql-relay: Facilitates building a backend using GraphQL.
flow type checking: Ensures type safety in the code.
eslint with airbnb config: Linting tool for maintaining code quality.

Summary:

The react-universal starter kit is a comprehensive solution for building web applications using React. It provides essential technologies such as babel, react, react-router, and redux for handling universal rendering and state management. In addition, it incorporates tools like koa, express, and graphql for server-side functionality. The inclusion of flow type checking ensures code quality, and linting is facilitated using eslint with the airbnb config.
