Other Boilerplates:

cycle-browserify-boilerplate by kahlil is very similar to this boilerplate but using Browserify as the build center of it's build process.

To Do's

1. More tests!

2. Get an isolated component built that can be reused in multiple places in the app

3. Create a localStorage implementation to keep state alive over page refresh

4. Look at expanding with different build tools, specifically Browserify.
