I've done a lot of React but have since been burned out by it. It takes so much configuration just to set up something basic like server side rendering. After a year of hacking around with React and wallowing through the pain, I decided to just use Django and django templates. React is nice for a whole company that has one app with a tough initial setup but great performance in the long run, but its hard for individual hackers like me who just want to get tiny webapps up and running.

Is server side rendering basic or necessary in most "tiny" apps?

Isn't it both?

I'm going to write some examples but I've started putting down my alternative setup without flux. I think it's a much simpler/nicer setup.

Would appreciate feedback:
