Background

Simply put, CRA development has stopped as of 2023. This has sparked a discussion about replacing CRA with Vite for official documentation recommendations. Replace Create React App recommendation with Vite Dan Abramov offered some plans for the future of the CRA in his comments, but no direct answers were given. https://github.com/reactjs/react.dev/pull/5487#issuecomment-1409720741

The React community is still buzzing around Server Component after May 2023, but there is still a high demand for the React SinglePageApplication starter that the CRA has served in the past, and I was one of the people who needed it, so I decided to create a template in Vite that could be used as much as possible like CRA.
