But all these are pretty bad solutions and defeat the purpose of using WASM in the first place. Instead,
my workaround was to [open a PR with `webpack`](https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/7918) and

But we're not done yet! After we compile Rust into WASM and link WASM to Javascript (via `wasm-bindgen` and `webpack`),
we still have to make an Electron app. For this purpose I used a starter app from [Electron Forge],
and then a [`prestart` script](https://github.com/bspeice/isomorphic_rust/blob/master/percy/package.json#L8)

Not that I ever managed to run into this myself (*coughs nervously*).
There are two projects attempting to be "application frameworks": [percy] and [yew]. Between those,

that doesn't depend on any tools besides `wasm-bindgen`. However, it requires manually writing "`extern C`"
blocks for everything you need from the browser. Es no bueno.
