Babel React Koa - Hot Universal Boilerplate

Introduction

Breko Hub

Breko-hub is a Github repository helping anyone create new JavaScript applications. Giving you a technically sound and tested starting point for your application.

The name

The name Breko-hub is an portmanteau made from the 3 core technologies used in Breko-hub and a 3 word summary of its purpose. The three technologies are Babel, React and Koa. The purpose of Breko-hub is a hot-reloading universal-boilerplate.

• Babel - A JavaScript compiler
• React - A library for interfaces
• Koa - A small web framework
• Hot-reloading - A technique for rapid development
• Universal - Code is usable in both an SPA and server
• Boilerplate - A reusable starting point

Redux associates itself with the "re" part of Breko-hub. But, yet, Redux is not as essential for building more simple applications and didn't make the cut for the name.
