I built it because I'm on a mission to polish up my Javascript[0] and get to grips with React and Node. And I have to say, it's been a pleasure. I'm astounded that the server for this (70 concurrent users) was just install node and hit screen -r / node server.

- dominotw 12y agoI am not sure. I just followed their docs[1] which are really good, IMO. 1. http://webpack.github.io/docs/ http://webpack.github.io/docs/
- AlexMuir 12y agoI'm looking into webpack now.
