I'd like to use react to build a relatively freestanding, single-page 
front-end interface that communicates with web2py for dbio and heavier 
processing. But I'm having a hard time wrapping my mind around how to 
approach integrating them. I realize that I'm running into some gaps in my 
knowledge that may make me ask some foolish questions here. So please bear 
with me...

I notice the project 
here: 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?nomobile=true#!searchin/web2py/react|sort:date/web2py/OrWvYqU2yOw/lDHd9bfpBAAJ.
 
But it seems like in that proof-of-concept web2py is doing a lot of work to 
present the html/js for the react components. I'd like to do something 
simpler (?) where the index.html and all of the client-side js are just 
served as static resources. Web2py would only get involved when the static 
js makes an ajax call (using fetch). Does that sound do-able? Are there 
gotchas that make that approach impractical?

I've been developing small free-standing react apps using the npm dev and 
build tools. But am I right that if I integrate with web2py I have to 
abandon those tools and use a custom webpack setup to do things like 
building the production-ready versions of the js files?

Thanks for your help.
