+> [!WARNING]
+> `preact-cli` unfortunately no longer sees active development! It's stable so you can rely upon it for all of your existing apps, but for creating new ones, we recommend [Vite](https://vitejs.dev) via [`create-preact`](https://github.com/preactjs/create-preact). It offers many of the same features but is a much faster, more modern experience. Thanks to all the contributors and users over the years!
