Product Analysis: React + Express - SSR Setup with TypeScript

Overview:

This React + Express project is a starter template for building React applications with server-side rendering (SSR) using TypeScript. The goal of this project is to provide a well-tested, regularly maintained, and easily configurable template that allows developers to quickly start their own React projects with SSR support.

The motivation behind creating this project was to have a central repository that the author can base their future projects on, while incorporating the packages, configurations, and settings that they have had good experiences with in the past. Additionally, this project was created to support the usage of Webpack 4 and Babel 7 early on, as existing starter projects did not provide support for both at the time of creation.
