Is Jade Necessary?

[rapind]

Don't get me wrong. I love Jade (and HAML and Slim), but you'll only even be using it for the entry point on the server so it'll never be larger than this:

It's not really part of this stack and seems unnecessary to include it just for this one view. Besides you're using JSX (HTML) on the react side, so now you've got multiple syntax for rendering.

Just an opinion though!

Hey. This is a good point, it does seem superfluous upon reflection. I'll swap it out for standard HTML template so that this aspect is simplified and easier to understand for people without Jade knowledge.

Thank you for your input!

[rapind]

Awesome. And thanks for putting this together!

Please check out this PR. I chose the ejs view template engine to render plain html with the local variables that are passed in via the call to .render(view, locals).

Let me know your thoughts.
