I published a simple but powerful React Boilerplate with Webpack 5, React 17, Tailwind 2, using babel, sass, with HMR and an optimized production build.

Updated (newest first):

• added build-staging script. same as build but using .env.staging
• added SVGR as a webpack loader to import your SVG directly as a React Component.
• added dotenv-webpack to handle process.env.VARS
• added Prettier
• added react-refresh-webpack-plugin for HMR
• 2 PR's accepted
