> As a Redux maintainer, I'll toss out my obligatory reminder you can use as much or as little abstraction on top of Redux as you want.

Tell that to the previous developer. To be blunt, if your library isn't very usable without helper utils or wrappers, it probably isn't really doing its job.

This is my first time using Redux, and my experience has been quite negative. This project has so many reams and reams of code that just doesn't clearly _do_ anything. Line after line of throat clearing and pseduostructure.

I accept that this may just be a poorly written application. I've looked over the Express code and that's not much better, which is remarkable given that all it does is proxy API requests. But all these action creators and reducers and constants seem to have added a lot of indirection to what is still thoughtless and illiterate code.

We are seriously talking about rewriting the whole thing. For a one year old project that's quite damning. Can you point me to an open source codebase that might convince me Redux-done-right makes for readable code?
