Hi, I'm a Redux maintainer.

FWIW, we've got a new Redux Starter kit package that tries to be a bit more "batteries included". It includes utilities that help simplify several common use cases, including store setup, defining reducers, immutable update logic, and even creating entire "slices" of state automatically. It also includes `redux-thunk` built in, as well as some middleware that check for things like mutations.

Please try it out and let us know what you think!

Thanks, this is incredibly useful, I use everything in this package! It also doesn't deviate from the spirit of Redux or abstract too much, like rematch for example. Without something like this, I find that many people structure their entire Redux code based on simple tutorials. They typically only read the docs or worry about best practices and complexity after they encounter problems. This kit will have them start off on the right foot.

Exactly!

I understand why folks have opted to create higher-level frameworks around Redux like Rematch, and it's not "wrong" that they've done so. But, looking at Rematch code, you can't really tell that it's actually Redux underneath.

With RSK, I've aimed for an intermediate level - decreasing the amount of things you have to write by hand and the literal number of keystrokes you have to type, but preserving the idea of "dispatching actions" and using reducers.

Glad to hear that you think it looks good! If you've got any additional feedback or suggestions, please let me know.
