+**React Crafter** is a CLI tool designed to quickly scaffold a modern React application with your choice of JavaScript or TypeScript, optional UI libraries, Sass, Vite, and essential development tools like Husky and linters pre-configured. This tool simplifies the initial setup, allowing developers to start coding with best practices from the get-go.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **React with TypeScript**: Automatically sets up a React project using TypeScript.
+- **React with JavaScript or TypeScript**: Choose your preferred language and the CLI sets up the project accordingly.
 - **UI Library Options**: Choose between Ant Design, Material UI, Chakra UI, Radix UI, or none at all during setup.
 - **Sass Support**: Configures Sass for better styling with variables, mixins, and more.
 - **Vite Configuration**: Fast bundler setup for development and production builds.
+- **Automatic Vite Template**: The CLI passes the correct template to `create-vite` based on your language choice, so no extra prompts appear.
 - **Husky & Linters**: Pre-configured Git hooks with Husky, Commitlint, and Prettier to enforce code quality and style.
 - **Atomic Design Structure**: Creates an atomic design folder structure to organize your components.
 - **Redux Setup**: Sets up Redux with slices, middleware, and selectors for state management.
