Hey everyone! 👋

With Create React App officially deprecated, the way we kickstart new React projects has changed a lot.

I’m curious — which tool are you using in 2025 to set up your React apps? ⚛️

🔹 Vite (super fast & modern)
🔹 Next.js (full-stack power)
🔹 Parcel (zero-config)
🔹 Something else?

Create React App is Dead – What’s Next for React Developers in 2025?

Vaibhav Naik — Thu, 27 Feb 2025 07:33:26 +0000

🚨 Create React App is officially deprecated.
For years, every beginner React project started with:

npx create-react-app my-app

But times have changed. CRA’s slow build times and outdated tooling led to its downfall, and now the React team has officially deprecated it.

💡 I recently shared my thoughts on this shift, along with a handy comparison between Vite, Next.js and Parcel, on LinkedIn.
