Recently I've built, as a side project and soon-to-be open source, a micro SPA [1] to learn React+Redux and for the interface I chose Semantic-UI [2]. There's a official React integration [3] that is really good and easy to use, and since I wanted to mix pure HTML pages and the app, it's ideal to use a React UI framework that doesn't bundle all the CSS into the components.

The Semantic UI React integration also doesn't need jQuery, which is a nice bonus.

I agree with the TypeScript suggestion. It's so good, and the VS Code integration is awesome.

React and mobx is like clojurescript's Reagent library, which I think is the next level after react-redux. It's like pseudocode, here's a direct translation of reagent's clock example: https://gist.github.com/lsdafjklsd/096f8657306a86832e6df1109.... This essense lib is just a unified api for mobx and react, I've been using it to teach people javascript. https://github.com/lsdafjklsd/essence
