Why does the main page of React not give an EXACT INSTALLATION GUIDE for actual developers?

[cyphire]

Have an advanced option to install React and a page showing all the other things which should be upgraded installed for React.

Doesn't Create a New React App cover this part already?

Not really... You really need to wade through the first page react.com, go to the next page then all the content on the left (including Create a New React App) has no hyperlinks. So you need to look to the right column and then click (Create a new React App), to then go to another page where half way down it shows up.

So for someone who is a developer seeing the web site for the first time it isn't even slightly clear where to go to get going!

At the minimum, put a hyperlink in the Create a new App page in the content section on the left side, not in the right side column.

I shouldn't have to spend 10 min looking through pages of content to just see how to install.

Just my opinion.

This doesn't seem like 10 minutes to me:

Is there a particular point where you "fell off"? Thanks.

Hey Dan, I think that several JavaScript toolchains <https://reactjs.org/docs/create-a-new-react-app.html> isn't a proper hyperlink to the Create a New React App page (which is on right). Do you really think that is intuitive for someone to use? On the right side you have Add React to a Website & Create a New React App. Why not use those two gestalts in the paragraph on left rather than "add React to an HTML page in one minute" (Which is fine) and "Create a New React App" vs the "several Javascript Toolchains" hyperlinked verbiage as it exists? By the way - huge fan of you and the work you have done! Kudos. I promise I'm not knitpicking. It didn't occur to me that "several Javascript Toolchains" was the entry point! If i had noticed the difference on the right I would have gone there. Best, Brian.
