Getting a React project in place (webpack config, code structure, all the boilerplate, redux,...) swallows quite some time. And I haven't found a bootstrapper yet that I liked.
Have you looked into electrode.io? It's the total package with testing, server side rendering, optional above-the-fold rendering, profiling, etc.
It took about half a day to get used to it, but I enjoyed not having to make the decisions over and over again and handles the basics as well as advanced use cases.
It's been really great, and reporting issues and small pull requests has been super easy so far. Not really what I expected from a company like walmart so I was pleasantly surprised.
The only fundamental disagreement I have with it is how the "client" folder is organized by default. I think it's a mistake to organize by the type of file (component, reducers, etc). Instead, the organization should be centered around the real use (pages, resources, etc.) Explained in more detail here, https://medium.com/@alexmngn/how-to-better-organize-your-rea...
I understand that's personal preference, and my preference is born out of seeing more than one react app become a tangled mess because isolation was hard to understand based upon file structure.
Especially for quickly prototyping an idea.
