Free demo not working

[technicallyrice]

Version

2.4.0

Reproduction link

https://jsfiddle.net/

Operating System

macOS

Device

Macbook Pro

Browser & Version

Chrome

Steps to reproduce

1. Download the free demo
2. Run npm install
3. Run ng serve

What is expected?

The application works

What is actually happening?

First, npm install throws a whole lot of warnings and vulnerabilities. This is probably due to the insanely old node and npm versions in the package.json. Ignoring those, when you then run ng serve receive the following:

Hi @technicallyrice,

Thank you for working with our products.

I tried now and it works on my side. Can you please tell me what versions of gulp and npm are you using? I have npm v6.14.5 and gulp v2.2.0.

Thank you,
Rares
