I'm having a similar problem. What should the start script be for deployment to heroku?

Sorry for the delay, just getting back from a weekend trip.

Couple of things here:

1. Heroku is sort of a special case. Since it's not good practice to commit your .env file, Heroku suggests you use config variables. Screenshot below. This is in your Project > Settings tab. Config variables will be loaded into your environment and accessible at process.env.<KEY>

2. I will change the npm scripts around to make them more clear. Something like:

  "dev": "nodemon",
  "build": "npm run clean && babel app -d build",
  "start": "npm run build && node build"

And in the Procfile, web: npm start will start the production build

Let me know if either of you have other questions.

Thanks. I ended up figuring it out and forgot to update this. I completely spaced on the config vars on Heroku and was successful with "start": "node index.js". Thanks for the clean boilerplate really helped to streamline my project.
