reactjs.org VS create-react-app

yes, he advocated for Vite in his pr: https://github.com/reactjs/reactjs.org/pull/5487

There have been several calls recently to remove the CRA recommendation, perhaps most notably from popular Twitter use and YouTuber Theo (t3.gg) whose pull request on the reactjs project recommending the replacement of CRA with Vite went viral on Twitter. This sparked heated criticism of CRA, including its perceived lack of features (such as native support for TypeScript or popular CSS library Tailwind), size, performance, and more.

It’s built on Next with tailwind. Check out the beta directory here: https://github.com/reactjs/reactjs.org

Not Docusaurus, but the source is here:

This came up a couple of weeks ago due to a PR opened on the CRA repo asking to kinda deprecate it as the main choice for new React projects. I couldn't help but share my opinion on this as well:

More specifically, the comment: https://github.com/reactjs/reactjs.org/pull/5487#issuecommen...

Create React App (CRA) abstracts away the complexity of configuring Webpack, Babel, and other build tools, allowing developers to focus on writing React code. It includes features such as hot module reloading for efficient development.

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?
