CRACO now supports Create React App 5 and it has some shiny new docs: https://craco.js.org/

Yeah - I have been waiting on that release before really digging in here, and wanted to ask you what you thought.
Back to CRACO, or stay with result of #54 / react-app-rewired ?

Although I really can't test the two at the moment against each other to see which one is a winner, I would definitely bet on the new CRACO maintainer, he seems very passionate and it looks like he worked very hard for this update.

Hmm - just checked "code frequency" and "contributors" for both, craco does seem more active.
Both had single person maintenance, it seemed to me, with react-app-rewired's maintainer currently mostly dormant and a fresh maintainer on craco
So on balance I think craco, but I'm not sure what it would take to unwind the change from #54 so please don't take that as any guess even on whether it is worth it to change back. I am just thinking out loud since you and I collaborate some that way - at the non-concrete "what's better..." level

I'll give it a shot, I'm pretty sure it won't take me more than 1-2 hours to make the change. I already did something with #46 as well, but I've been pretty busy at work. I hope to open a PR this weekend on both of the issues.

Exciting! :-)

Unfortunately I'll reopen the issue since I still didn't manage to use the metro-react-native-babel-preset with CRACO and I had to revert the commit :/ 💔

Since now we're using the cool Next.js build tools, we no longer need CRACO or react-app-rewired. 🎉
