Starting point for a lean and fast web application

Utilizing well-known, small and efficient libraries and "mini" frameworks

Learn how it is built by going through the tutorials

By utilizing a horde of clever minds and putting their work together, I am in this space building a starting point for a web application that uses these principles:

• Dependency exclusively on small libraries and frameworks that are in the top of their fields
• Each small library can be replaced by another one that in time proves more efficient
• No dependency on a big, monolithic framework in which to place your destiny

Focus points / features:

• Single page JavaScript web application
• Fully SEO "compatible" by utilizing server side rendered content
• Optimized for speed by utilizing static pages (though website in general )
• Hot reloading during development
• Immutability
• Still adding to the list ...

Technologies in the stack:

• JavaScript / HTML / CSS
• Mithril.js - (incredibly fast) rendering engine
• Node.js
• Webpack
• GIT Still to come:
• Redux - (clear and plain) state management
• RethinkDB - (awesome, no-schema database with)

The tutorials are published here on Github. First one is available (still being polished)

1. Getting our basic mithril.js app up and running
