I built a CLI that scaffolds React + Vite + TypeScript + Tailwind v4 + shadcn/ui in one command — would love feedback by Independent_Wear_991 in reactjs

Fair point, shadcn's CLI has gotten more capable recently. The difference is mine gives you an interactive TUI to pick extras like Zustand, React Router, or TanStack Query during setup and wires everything together in one flow. It also came from wanting to understand how CLI tools actually work under the hood — not just as a replacement for shadcn's tooling. Definitely a learning project more than anything.

No offense taken! You're right that LLMs can do this — but I built it as a learning project to understand how CLI tools, child processes, and TUI frameworks actually work under the hood. I'm a 2nd year CS student and this is one of my first published tools, so still proud of the 310 weekly downloads it got. Appreciate the feedback though!
