Summary

In a whirlwind of Webpack, ES6 Imports, and CSS shenanigans, we’ve completed a key process that started with a simple PG snippet and finished with an animated landing page. Along the way, we set up our local development scripts so we can take advantage of modern JavaScript features such as tree-shaking to optimize our package bundle sizes, while still being able to quickly integrate and view changes into the application.

What’s next from here should be fairly obvious to anyone who has ever stood in front of a Big Red Button labeled “Launch”. It’s time to Push the Button, and make it do interesting things! Yes, we will be implementing our application’s Launch-time experience, which involves establishing some mechanics of state in the application. Don’t worry if you’re not through with this section yet, there’s more to be done!
