Deployment on Heroku

To get this project to work on Heroku, you need to:

1. Remove the "PORT": 8080 line from the betterScripts / start-prod section of package.json.
2. heroku config:set NODE_ENV=production
3. heroku config:set NODE_PATH=./src
4. heroku config:set NPM_CONFIG_PRODUCTION=false

• This is to enable webpack to run the build on deploy.

The first deploy might take a while, but after that your node_modules dir should be cached.
