I notice you're using Node 11. I'm not sure if we're compatible with Node 11 yet. Maybe try using Node 10 instead.

It seems CRA already works on Node 11.0.0 I've successfully started it on my machine.

Following are my env:

• macOS 10.13.6
• yarn 1.7.0
• node 11.0.0
• npm 6.4.1

I'm having a similar issue. After 15-20 minutes of using npm start, no changes to the code trigger compilation and the server is unresponsive (browser says This site can’t be reached). I've rolled back to node v10.0.0 as a temporary fix which has worked.

Updating to node 11.1, at least for me, fixed the issue.

Fixed the issue by downgrading from node 11 to 10 LTS.
