## The idea behind the example

Sometimes you want to **not** server render some parts of your application. That can be third party components without server render capabilities, components that depends on `window` and other browser only APIs or just because that content isn't important enough for the user (eg. below the fold content).

In that case you can wrap the component in `react-no-ssr` which will only render the component client-side.

This example features:

* An app with a component that must only be rendered in the client
* A loading component that will be displayed before rendering the client-only component
