The `create-react-app` utility for node made to quickly start a frontend app with a CLI to choose your dependencies has been broken for a whole month now.

Lead maintainers at Meta have been taking a long vacation for a tool that is used by 13M+ people. For the past months, trying to use the tool by itself causes it to crash due to a mismatch between React v18 and v19.

Hacky workarounds obviously work, editing your deps after the CLI crashes... Though that makes the CLI itself useless. There are alternatives like `vite` which do this very well, though it's sad to see such tools get abandoned like this...
