+# Create React App is Deprecated
+
+Create React App was one of the key tools for getting a React project up-and-running in 2017-2021, it is now in long-term stasis and we recommend that you migrate to one of React frameworks documented on ["Start a New React Project"](https://react.dev/learn/start-a-new-react-project).
+
+If you are following a tutorial to learn React, there is still value in continuing your tutorial, but we do not recommend starting production apps based on Create React App.
