create-react-app is deprecated and has old typescript compatibility

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When I use the command to init the project

npx create-react-app my-app --template overwolf-typescript-redux

it results in npm failing to resolve dependencies without the --force flag.

npm ERR! Override for typescript@^5.4.5 conflicts with direct dependency

Describe the solution you'd like
Maybe something like Vite. It can be a possible solution. Not sure if a new repo should be spun up for that.

Describe alternatives you've considered
Manually downgrade typescript then npm run eject to get normal js files. Then upgrade typescript.

After project init, I resolved it in this order:

• Remove "override: "^5.3.3" from package.json
• Run the following commands:
  • npm install [email protected] [email protected]
• Update public/manifest.json
  • Change all file properties:
    • - "file": "Files/index.html",
    • + "file": "index.html",
• Run the following commands:
  • rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json
  • npm install
  • npm run build
