create-react-library VS create-react-app

At first i thought that this was THE solution but looking deeper at the source code, this tool is a wrapper around a wrapper around a wrapper.... Don't get me wrong, it probably works, but it's currently using a rollup configuration that was created in 2018, the package itself has not seen any updates in 17 months and has 106 open issues. Also the owner says himself that he's not able to work that much on it anymore and suggest to use TSDX which in return hasn't been updated in several months, many open issues and extensive customization is recommended with patch-package which already in itself is a red-flag :(

create-react-library - CLI for creating reusable, modern React libraries using Rollup and create-react-app.

Using create-react-library to scaffold a React component library.

Just found this: https://github.com/transitive-bullshit/create-react-library

Immerse yourself in the official Create React App documentation for a deeper understanding.

Create React App (https://create-react-app.dev/)

- And ofc, there are some templates/frameworks that bring something of that together (https://create-react-app.dev/; maybe https://vitejs.dev/) - google for templates.

I recommend finding some friend with modern experience or at least some youtube tutorials or at least some learning course. That would help you to catch up on the best way to bootstrap your first project. Then you can practice.

What's the connection?

Also, take a look at this response from 2021: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/discussions/117...
