Easy creation of an embeddable widget.

## Goal

The create-react-app of embeddable widgets.

## Features

* Full ES6/ES2015 support (with Babel)
* Package fonts, css, json, javascripts together into one single package (with Webpack)
* No css styling conflicts between the host page and the widget (with https://github.com/premasagar/cleanslate)
* User theming of widget
* Obfuscating of the widget code

## What is an embeddable widget?

* Usable using a simple `<script>` tag
* Configurable with code
* Themable

## Why not in an iframe?

* Interaction between the frame and the hosting page is tricky and not recommended
* You can only display content within the iframe
* iframe and content resizing is impossible
* iframe sandboxing can result in missing functionalities

## Roadmap

- [x] Widget as react app - index.html works (webpack, babel, react)
- [x] React widget (widget builder)
- [x] Webpack changed to output a library
- [x] Add tests
- [x] Production Build
- [x] Minified
- [x] Add greenkeeper
- [ ] Reset / Cleanslate / No-conflicts of styles
- [ ] Obfuscation
- [ ] Integrate eslint with webpack
- [ ] Theming support
- [ ] Storyboard and docs
