Compabibility for browsers that do not support ES2015 about flipmouse-esp32 HOT 3 CLOSED

Good point...
Do you have experience with babeljs?
Would be interesting how the backwards compatibility will affect the file size.

Nowadays, after some more experience I wouldn't recommend babeljs anymore for this project because it would be an overkill. I think there are two reasons why this webapp doesn't run on old browsers:

1. usage of ES6 syntax like arrow functions (e.g. list.filter(e => e.value === 1))
2. usage of Promises

(1) could be simply fixed manually by just searching for => and replace it with function, so e.g. list.filter(function(e) {return e.value === 1})
(2) could be fixed by a Promise polyfill, e.g. https://github.com/stefanpenner/es6-promise

But I don't know if all of this is necessary. Currently on desktop the only non-supported browser is Internet Explorer and all current mobile browsers should be supported.
According to caniuse - arrow functions and caniuse - Promises about 97% of mobile users and 95% of desktop users are currently supported, so I think we could also just close this issue ;)

I think 95% are sufficient :-),
especially because:
-) we will provide an electron version
-) the WebGUI is used for configuration only (if the person does not have a new device, there should be an alternative around)
