Can't use Internet Explorer as development browser

Great catch. Reproduced. I'm investigating now.

Per the console message in IE: webpack-hot-middleware's client requires EventSource to work. You should include a polyfill if you want to support this browser: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Server-sent_events#Tools

I'm debating whether I want to add the polyfill to the starter kit. In the meantime, adding it on your end will get you rolling.

After further testing, the example app was also not running in IE when built because of a separate issue - I was using Object.assign in the example app. I've just committed a fix for that. So this means IE will now work fine in production mode (when you run this):
npm run build

If you want to do dev in IE, read my previous comment. (Again, still considering what commit I want to make to support doing dev in IE)

Thanks, I can try that.  The bigger issue for me was that browser-sync ignored my browser option in the client config.  I'll research a little more this evening.

@stuartdga Did you have any luck getting HMR to work in IE? I've tried adding in the suggested polyfill and hot module reloading still doesn't work in IE. It initially connects, but throws an error on save.

No, I changed my default browser to Chrome and changed it back after i completed the course.

Gothca. Alright, I'm going to close this as "Won't fix" since polyfills are available for the few who want hot reloading in IE.
