Thanks! In the past I've looked at the docs and got something basic going with create-react-app, but since I've been put off by little things here and there I'd like to see a working example of a larger system to better appreciate what's good about React. This seems like what I was looking for.

Looks good but can any React experts comment as to

- whether or not this really uses best practices?

- leverages React to the fullest?

Those are both pretty broad questions. Skimming through the code, I'd say it's a reasonable example of a React+Redux codebase. I don't think I could say it "leverages React to the fullest", because it's unclear exactly what that means, and this is not an overly complex sample application. But, it does serve as a useful example of something more "real" than yet another TodoMVC clone.
