Hi. Just to confirm to you, you do nothing wrong \o/.
The issue steams from GitHub not executing a proper CORS response, which in turn stops the browser from executing the request the JS code asks for.
There are a couple things you can do to fix this issue: You can install an extension which enters the proper header everywhere (the link there didn't work, see this one . I did get some errors when loading a module that way, and Im not sure if they are expected or a result of the plugin getting in the way, but at least it loads something.
There is also the possibility of installing and running the IDE "locally" with NPM. See here. This shouldn't be limited by the missing CORS response as the browser is, I havent been able to try this yet though.
In the end, the only way to fix this is the other methods mentioned in the above ReadMe or asking GitHub to implement the proper CORS headers. Maybe they also only have a bug with their http endpoint and it will fix itself at some point? If other people can confirm it used to work, this is a not so unlikely scenario.
