README.md local development instructions are not sufficient to begin development about chat-gui HOT 2 CLOSED

after some googling, it seems I can add this to the webpack module rules section to allow tiff files to be processed properly in webpack 5:

            {
                test: /\.(woff|woff2|eot|ttf|otf)$/i,
                type: 'asset/resource',
            },

after doing this, the server starts. However, I am still experiencing issues at runtime, which I will continue to debug and report on here (this is now my personal manifesto page)

from chat-gui.

I worked on the sus font issue myself and used file-loader. It turns out file-loader is deprecated, so you did a better job by using asset modules.

The other issue you're probably running into has to do with importing HTML files in assets/demo.js. html-loader generates ES modules by default, but the file uses CJS require statements. To fix the issue, you need to import the HTML files, disable this option for the loader in your Webpack config, or rely on Node's module interoperability features by appending .default to the requires.

I already improved the README and solved these issues in #60, but I have some bad news: you can't connect to Destiny.gg chat like this because of how the server is configured. I'm not sure if we'll ever reconfigure the server to allow this to happen.

You can get around this with limited functionality by setting up a WebSocket proxy server. You have to connect the proxy server to the chat, then the dev server to the proxy server.
