@ije This is from @swork1 on the discord and I can confirm it is the same

I think figured out where part of the problem is coming from. A couple places in app.ts we are appending file:// at the start of the names of modules which is causing the browser to look in C:\ or something where it won’t be able to find anything because it’s not there. It should be using the whole path so that the browser knows where to look, but @ije why aren’t we instead importing straight from the dev server? I think pointing browsers to look through the file system is a privacy thing that many people don’t want to risk.
