[BUG] Dependency updates blocked due to CRA deprication

[rickstaa]

Describe the bug

Problem

The deprecation of the create-react-app framework (as discussed here) has created a roadblock in updating TypeScript to version 5 (refer to this GitHub issue). Consequently, several dependencies are stuck without updates, as they mandate a minimum TypeScript version of v5.

Solution

Consider transitioning to Next.js as an alternative.

Reproduction steps

Checkout #149 to see that the update to typescript V5 fails.

Expected behaviour

We should be able to update to v5 without the build step failing.
