Create React App is an officially supported way to create single-page React
applications. It offers a modern build setup with no configuration.

## Project Scope and Current Status

Create React App is in long-term maintenance mode.

It continues to receive critical bug fixes and security updates, but new features are unlikely to be added. The project remains a stable option for certain use cases.

Create React App may be a good fit if:
- You are learning React and want a zero-configuration setup
- You are maintaining an existing Create React App codebase
- You prefer a stable, well-known toolchain with minimal change

You may want to consider alternatives if:
- You are starting a new production application
- You need faster development startup times
- You require more flexibility in bundling or framework integration

For new projects, the React team recommends exploring modern alternatives such as:
- Vite
- Next.js
- Remix
