Day 3: learning begins

Hi!
check the quote beneath that cover image, "the secrete of getting ahead is getting started" make sense right?
So today was good, I had no issues with motivation whatsoever and since I had few tasks to do I decided it will be an opportunity to start my daily conscious learning. where I have to consciously learn something new everyday
So I started with something that I have been procrastinating to learn for a long time "creating a React app without using create-react-app"

I have this blog website that I developed as a capstone project in a coding training I'm taking, and is really incomplete and messy therefore I wanted to refine it using React and Tailwind. but since I'm a sadist (kidding), to make it even harder for my self I wanted to setup a brand new react project without the usual easier way of using create-react-app.
Basically the main benefit I realized with all this setup is that you get to learn how the magic of React really works with setting up Webpack, Babel and everything by yourself to only use what you actually need, so that you can know how to add something new when you need to.
Setting up a new project is not that easy I guess that's why Facebook created create-react-app in the first place, because for me I already read like 10+ articles and even if there is a progress some of it still look weird to me
tomorrow I plan to finish with this and start a new task or maybe make an article of my own teaching how to setup react without CRA

let the learning begin :)
