I'm on "Build a React Info Site" course and I'm running my app local. When I try to make a new JS file to import on index.js I get an error. Is there anything that I need to do extra to make it work?

Hello Shirasu, can you please hover over the x mark to highlight the intellisense error and share?

@weary hatch how did you set up your React project?
weary hatch
I simply download from the scrimba and click go live to see if it works or not
It's pretty frustrating because I have to spend more time on debugging to make it run than actually learning. And I really like running it locally because I can own my code easily
I can't focus well by just listening and looking at people doing things since I have adhd so I have to do something to distract myself to learn well. In this case, coding while instructor is coding 🙂

@weary hatch yeah that won't work. Your best bet is to set up Vite on your local machine and do your projects with that.
weary hatch
Alright, thank you
pallid cape
Alright, thank you
Did you manage to get things figured out?
weary hatch
I actually used Vite but it didn't go well so I took a break from scrimba for a while 😦
pallid cape
Aww sorry to hear that. Anything I can do to help?
weary hatch
Thanks for the help. But I notice that vite won't help me what I want to achieve either because when I do npx create react app I don't need vite

Yes, create-react-app and vite do similar things for React projects - I personally prefer vite because it's faster.
