Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

React vs React Native: How Different Are They, Really?
Some development tools for the web are similar (Chrome debugger, mostly) to those for React Native, but other aspects are very different (working with the metro bundler, using Flipper, AsyncStorage debugging, more). Some techniques developers will use are the same (breakpoints and console logging), but others are different (knowing when to restart the packager vs reinstall the app on device).

Setting up React Native Monorepo with Yarn Workspaces
We’re almost done with setting up the project. The last thing in the React Native app is to add watchFolders so metro knows where the linked node_modules are. The shared modules are symlinked by yarn, and since metro doesn’t follow symlinks we need to explicitly say it where the linked node_modules are.

Debugging RN + Expo bare using WebStorm? Would I be better off just killing myself now?
Unfortunately it is what it is... I use intellij instead of webstorm since they're the same thing basically. I spent a shitton of time figuring out how to link a local package i was creating for my app only to discover about this issue that is almost as old as react native itself. (luckily there's rnx-kit that solves the problem). Not to talk about the impossibility to have one goddamn IDE to write both typescript, java and c++. Currently i have to write ts/js in intellij, then i have to switch to android studio to write java/c++.

Do you know where the __DEV__ flag is set?
React Native packager. Override instructions here.

React Native Monorepo
React Native doesn't play nicely with most monorepo tools out of the box as Metro doesn't support symlinking.

Running React Native everywhere: The Web
Because React Native for Web is a React website, you can use front-end tools to build and run it. For example, you can build it with Webpack or Rollup instead of Metro bundler.

Running React Native everywhere: Android & iOS
Before we can run the app, we still need do one more thing: make metro bundler compatible with Yarn workspaces' hoisting.

Running React Native everywhere: Yarn Workspaces monorepo
Second, sharing code with other projects (e.g., backend code, web apps) may get complicated. Out-of-the-box, React Native's metro bundler cannot reference code outside of the project's root directory. You can configure it to do so (and we'll do it as well later on). Still, once you do it, you'll also need to ensure dependencies resolution works correctly (to avoid loading two different versions of the same library, for example); which might not be as easy as it may sound.

Htmx and Web Components: A Perfect Match
I had some 'fun' figuring out how to deal with not going through create-react-app without doing a full eject, got something barely working ... and discovered https://craco.js.org/ already existed and did precisely what I'd part-implemented except better.
On the upside, by that point I knew the CRA codebase well enough to predict what it would do even in edge cases, and CRACO's implementation was immediately comprehensible, and none of my colleagues had to try and understand my half-arsed NIH version.
(avoiding being in any of this situation in the first place would likely have been preferable, but given where things were when I landed on the project in question that would've required a TARDIS)

If you initiated your React application using create-react-app, leverage @craco/craco to override your webpack configuration.

Build a web editor with react-monaco-editor
Ejecting a React app is a bad idea because our application will lose all the React configurations and will not benefit from the CRA updates. Some solutions for ejecting our application include using packages like react-app-rewired or rewire. You can also use CRACO to eject your React application, but it needs you to install additional plugins.

How are you building React applications? It's time to move on from Create React App
So, instead of entirely managing these configuration files, teams took to utilizing tools such as Craco to override configurations. These tools also come with their limitations: they were not updated as quickly as CRA, so there was always a lag in implementing new features, and they added an extra layer of complexity to existing tools through overrides and additional tools.

How to start a React Project in 2023
I am not much of a fan of CRA myself but I am very much glad that https://craco.js.org exists - so far it's handled my needs for tweaking CRA behaviour in situations where "eject" didn't seem like a good route to take.
Mostly tbh to stop the freaking thing spawning inotify watchers for the entire contents of node_modules - I don't mind having to do a manual restart when I've changed dependencies and I definitely -do- mind having it eat a shedload of my user's inotify kernel allocation. (I know you can up the allocation, that's not the point, why are you on my lawn? :)

As I mentioned, in our case, the perfect tool for this job is CRACO. It will let us simply overwrite CRA’s configuration without ejecting.

Working with Ant Design in React - Customization
Or I could use Craco with Craco-less. Craco 6+ doesn't work with 5+ versions of react-scripts. I know I could use yarn instead of NPM which doesn't stop the installation of craco, but it can't be the solution. We can't scrap the project and restart. Further, Craco 7-alpha installs but then craco-less doesn't.

CRA vs Parcel
If you want to customize the webpack configuration, you either need to eject, or to work against the package (with yarn patch, forking react-scripts, or using CRACO which is the easiest). But none of them are officially maintained by the CRA team.
What are some alternatives?
expo-cli - Tools for creating, running, and deploying universal Expo and React Native apps
react-app-rewired - Override create-react-app webpack configs without ejecting
webpack - A bundler for javascript and friends. Packs many modules into a few bundled assets. Code Splitting allows for loading parts of the application on demand. Through "loaders", modules can be CommonJs, AMD, ES6 modules, CSS, Images, JSON, Coffeescript, LESS, ... and your custom stuff.
