MDL / React template for Electron

This repo shows how to use package the Material Design Lite "Dashboard" template with react and react-router into a super simple electron app. It's bare bones, but works.

Note that if you make changes in the source, you can use CMD+R to reload the page once the file is rebuilt. Also, you can turn developer tools on and off from the menubar.

It's based on this great article:
