Bandito

Overview

Bandito is a minimalistic NPM boilerplate specially designed for creating mostly-static React frontends. Unlike existing React/webpack boilerplates that tend to scaffold applications with intricate state management, Bandito emphasizes simplicity and modular design. This makes it an attractive option for developers looking to build lightweight applications while avoiding added complexity.

By focusing on modularity, Bandito sets the stage for a streamlined development experience. It comes with a simple node server, making deployment to platforms like Heroku a breeze. As the project evolves, more details about the build config and workflow will be released, promising to enhance its functionality.
