Default Heroku deploy using button (without changing anything) builds but fails when running app

[rasmuszimmer]

Hi pheuter,

Great starter kit!

Clicking "Deploy to Heroku" from this repo deploys and builds fine, but accessing the actual application causes "an unexpected error". Looking at the logs from heroku it seems there is a syntax error around "import from", i.e., something regarding Babel is not configured properly for Heroku?

I'm pretty new to all this Babel/ES6/webpack/react stuff so maybe it is something I'm doing completely wrong. Thanks in advance!

Please see my PR #45, let me know if using Deploy to Heroku from my clone works for you. See my commit for details

I solved it by changing the script line in package.json

from

"server": "node start.js"

to

"start": "node start.js"

However, since I'm new to this stuff I am not sure whether it is the right way to go about it.
