Main

• PassportJS for authentication (using a Local Strategy)
• Redux to handle our state

Secondary

• React Router for routing client-side
• Express for handling server requests (REST and page requests)

• Webpack to bundle our client-side code
• Hot reloading using webpack-dev-middleware and webpack-hot-middleware
