In this mix I'd swap in Rekit (http://rekit.js.org/) instead of plain create-react-app as it adds Redux with lots of timesaving functionality built into an included editor.

Can I eject rekit at some point? Can I use VS Code before ejecting?

Wes Bos' "React for Beginners" has been my go to for tutorials using React and Firebase.

This adds Ant so I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

I love how ant design invents a new 'design language' and then it turns out to be yet another bootstrap.

I wish we'd get a real revolutionary design system instead of these frameworks that try solve all cases, and ultimately end up so generic you can't use them for anything -other- than prototyping

Can you elaborate for me? Curious what you'd like to see in respect to a design system...

Side note, this is what I'm looking to solve at https://cleverbeagle.com.

React is a great tool with a permissive license. Abandoning it would be a case of throwing out the baby with the bath water, IMO.

Initial look at the Ant Design, all of the images in the documentation are broken, so is the ng.ant.design URL. That's not inspiring any confidence in their ability guiding web application development...
