Modern, universal and simple web application boilerplate built using cutting-edge technologies.

Overview

The 3R boilerplate is a modern, universal web application template built using some of the most advanced technologies available today, including React, Redux, and React Router. This boilerplate aims to simplify the initial setup of web applications, allowing developers to focus more on functionality and design rather than configuration and boilerplate code. Its seamless support for universal applications allows the same code to run both on the server and in the browser, enhancing SEO and user experience.

With its straightforward setup and rich feature set, the 3R boilerplate is designed to cater to both new projects and seasoned developers looking for a solid foundation to build their applications. The included tools and frameworks not only modernize the development process but also provide essential functionalities out of the box, saving time and effort during the development lifecycle.
