🤔 Why Not Just Use Official Vite or Next CLIs?
Great question! Tools like npm create vite@latest and npx create-next-app are excellent starting points, but React Kickstart goes
much further.
Official CLI Tools Give You:
- Basic project structure
- Minimal configuration
- A "Hello World" starting point
React Kickstart Gives You:
- Everything above, PLUS:
- Pre-configured tool combinations (Redux + RTK Query, Tailwind + TypeScript, etc.)
- Working example code showing how tools work together
- Complete development setup (ESLint, Prettier, testing, deployment)
- Smart integrations (auto-detects your IDE and package manager)
- Production-ready structure with organized folders and best practices
- One command setup - no need to manually add and configure 5+ additional tools
