Create React App

This is a Create React App starter that uses serve.

✨ Features

• Create React App
• Serve

💁‍♀️ How to use

• Install required dependencies with npm install

• Start the server for development npm run dev

  (The original start command has been more appropriately renamed to dev)

❓ Why use serve

By default Railway will use the start script defined in package.json to run your app, the problem with that for a default create-react-app project is that the start script starts a development server not fit to run on railway, for reasons such as:

• Starts a file watching development server that's resource intensive
• Has a tendency for ram to get out of hand (>600mb)
• Doesn't listen on the railway provided PORT variable
• Not as stable or performant as serve
