This is a lighter alternative to create-react-app.
npx light-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start
If you've previously installed light-react-app globally via npm install -g light-react-app, we recommend you uninstall the package using npm uninstall -g light-react-app to ensure that npx always uses the latest version.
Then open localhost:8080 to see your basic app running.
