It took me almost 15 minutes (mostly reading your tutorial) to figure out how exactly you were intending to run the development server. I highly recommend that you put a short, simple solution in your readme.

Well, I have spent a lot of hours getting to this point with the boilerplate, so compared to your 15 minutes I would still say that is still a success ;-) It would be really great if you created a pull request with the steps you took to get it working, I am not sure where it got confusing

Hey guys, noob here. It took a bit of time for me, but looks clear and understandable, more readme info would cut that down to 5 min :P Sorry for the stupid question, but can I replace the server.js with something like this and serve the front end "app" in the public folder?

@christianalfoni appreciate your efforts! It always amazes me how demanding users can be for FREE software.

And for the record, it was pretty straight forward to me :)

@mikeerickson Hehe, thanks for the support ;-)

@savovs That should be possible yes, though there are certain dependencies inside the current server.js files that needs to be included in the other thing there. Look at the two middlewares in server.js that points to webpack. Those needs to be there :)
