Update our react projects to use create-react-app

[luqmaan]

What problem are we trying to solve?

We have a bunch of projects that use React. Most of them use a bunch of copypasta that we wrote in 2014. https://github.com/luqmaan/Instabus/blob/v0.0.3/gulpfile.js

The problem with this is that they are all broken in one way or another.

Who will benefit (directly and indirectly) from this project?

New contributors to any of the Open Austin projects that use React.

What are the next steps (validation, research, coding, design)?

1. Identify all the projects that use React
2. Decide which ones we will switch to create-react-app
3. Do the thing

+1 for create-react-app. It makes getting up and running so much easier! That said, the permit-server doesn't use react atm so we could remove it from the checklist.
