This is the bare minimum you'll want in order to get up and running with Preact and Webpack 2.
Note that for most projects, you'll want to use preact-cli to bootstrap your preact projects.
You don't need to clone this repository as a boilerplate - the commit history is actually a step-by-step guide! It will walk you through setting things up yourself. Give it a try, you might be surprised how easy it is 🙂
