Hi,

Wanted to contribute something.

After npm install and npm start the server doesn't start

C:\www\react-slider [master ≡ +0 ~1 -0 !]> npm start

> react-slider@1.0.6 start C:\www\react-slider
> create-react-styleguide script start

events.js:187
      throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event
      ^

This is probably a Windows specific issue and can be connected with create-react-styleguide. Until this is resolved, you may try using WSL.

Im running it on WSL now.
