What is this repository for?

• Quick summary: the purpose of this repo is to create a generic react.js application that uses metamask for authentication.
• Version: 0.0.1

How do I get set up?

• clone this repository
• run npm install
• start testrpc (check here for information on testrpc).
• in one terminal run npm start (to use strict mode) or nodemon server.js (to run without strict mode).
• in another run npm run bundle

How do I use the app?
