Question
How to get a React repo to use the Starter App Plan

It seems this is a needed Question again. The top Questions on the topic lead to a broken link to an article that used to give suggestions, and a “I figured it out myself, I had Nodejs code in my repo” result.
I would like to use the Starter App Plan to deploy a React project. But when I connect my repo with just a React app in it, the Starter Plan is not an option. (I did create my React app with Vite rather than create-react-app, if that makes a difference.)
