Run with a tiny static server (recommended so script loading is consistent across browsers):
python -m http.server 4173Then open http://localhost:4173.
Note: Some browsers restrict JavaScript module loading from
file://URLs. This app now uses a classic script for wider compatibility, but serving over HTTP is still the most reliable way to run it.
