NOTE: We do not want to create a new boilerplate. The create-react-app tool is awesome and community-supported. No need for yet another front-end boilerplate. HOWEVER, the code generated by the create-react-app tool is not a sufficient starting point for Acklen Avenue teams since it lacks several things. Instead of adding those things manually each time we start a new app, the approach we are taking is to create one or more yeoman generators to "fill in the gaps" after we run create-react-app. Here's an example of what we mean:
$ create-react-app my-app
$ cd my-app
$ yo acklen-react
And the result would be the code generated from create-react-app plus all the other things we need to satisfy the requirements in https://gist.github.com/bsommardahl/c2d57d51242b2336b7876f20fcf16ac6.
