Description
Currently, the getting started docs have this line:
If you prefer to set up your own JavaScript toolchain from scratch, check out this guide that re-creates some of the Create React App functionality.
which links to this article: https://blog.usejournal.com/creating-a-react-app-from-scratch-f3c693b84658
However, the code samples of the article are now going 404.
I believe that it is very important to provide people an option to have their own, minimalistic toolchain. (or rather the documentation for it). Especially for beginners.
I know there is the eject command for the create react app utility, but that includes a lot of extra features that many won't need.

Start by locating the getting started documentation containing the link to the Creating a React App from scratch article, then verify that the linked code samples are unavailable. Done means the documentation provides a maintained option for creating a minimal JavaScript and React toolchain, with working examples or a replacement guide.
