Hi, thanks for your issue!
SW works only in production, because it caches build results.
I tested manifest.json only in production build and probably currently it will not works correctly in dev mode, because there is no need in manifest.json in development + it will be replaced soon with FaviconsWebpackPlugin. I'm currently working on big update in which your issue will be fixed.

I figured. Thanks!

Any plans on doing a version with MobX instead of Redux? Or at least without Redux?

I'd like to use these starter but with TypeScript and MobX. A lot of things to modify and I'm no expert in these technologies so I'm already having errors all over the place.

Probably, Redux will be used in a future, but there will be many improvements: lazy loading, styled-component + SSR.

Also, starter is based on Semantic-UI(hah, probably it's obvious) which is not 100% good choice for performance-first apps (semantic uses full lodash bundle as dependency + minified styles are 548 kb without gzip), so lazy loading is a requirement. If your project isn't so big, I recommend you to use Preact instead of React. Preact is much smaller in size.

Also, some notes: if you're planning to use SSR, than maybe you need to select another UI framework, because (as I understood after using Semantic in my projects) Semantic doesn't support SSR with inline styles.

Thanks for your quick reply.

Actually I don't want or need SSR.

I still like your starter since it uses SUI, which I love, but also a solid structure with good performance and even a testing framework. But I do not like Redux and I prefer Typescript over babel.

Personally, I don't like TypeScript, but maybe I need to think about an alternative for Redux in this project, thanks for your idea)
Maybe a custom CLI generator (like CRA or ng utils) or a yeoman generator will be a good solution.

Well, that would be amazing!

@Metnew I know you said you don't like TypeScript but it's getting a LOT of momentum lately, and IDE support is getting VERY nice!
What say you? :)
