Create React App support

Was there a particular reason to not use the https://www.npmjs.com/package/create-react-app package?
I wasn't around for this design decision, but there's no technical reason preventing create-react-app from being the basis of a NEAR dapp. If I were to venture a guess, I'd say parcel's zero-config setup and generally providing a more lightweight project were the reasons. @mikedotexe might have more to add here.
Would you be interested in creating a create-react-app + NEAR starter/boilerplate?
I suggest we keep create-near-app unchanged, but add a create-react-app custom template. This would allow people who want to use create-react-app to issue a command like:
npx create-react-app my-app --template near
To make this possible, we would need to publish a cra-template-near package to NPM.
Before we build such a thing, though, we need to decide who will maintain this template library. If we build the initial implementation, would you be willing to keep it up-to-date, @mrrobot16?
We will keep it without create-react-app since in this way it is simpler for us to maintain and reduce boilerplate to a maximum.
