   Well fuck me. Can't import JavaScript modules over your local file system, because browsers enforce the Same-Origin Policy on module scripts, and browsers treat all files as having different origins.

   It being permitted for non-module scripts is viewed as something regrettable that they can't break.

   So to develop web pages with JavaScript that you can run locally, I have to rely on behavior that browser vendors would have eliminated if they could.

   That's some rain on my parade.

     @cvennevik Any decent web framework should provide a command you can run to start up a temporary development web server.

     E.g. yarn run
     Or
     flask run

     Ughhhh I guess some sort of web server is basically mandatory now for developing web pages locally. Can't just open the files in your browser anymore. Piss.

     @cvennevik Oh cool! Well, I guess you don't *have* to use js modules... They are a fairly recent addition to the language.

     @rimu I know, I'm well aware! I've used frameworks for years. I'm trying to *opt out* of frameworks and Node and package managers and all of that and develop as "bare metal" as possible on the web platform. Because I think that would be nice.
