@Akiyamka and @nickveliki, Thank you for the improvements. It helped me solve my build issues. Wouldn't it be better to create a PR based on your suggestions?

Dec 24 '23 15:12 camcam1773

@camcam1773 if you would like to, you have my approval to do it with my solution. I considered this repo abandoned until I saw your and @Akiyamka's comments just now. The project which I wanted this for has also since changed to electron with react-ts
