_Very_ inexperienced with code here, I’m trying to insert what I think is a super simple [github component](https://github.com/CrazyTim/spin-wheel) into my site and I can’t figure out how. Nobody else seems to have a problem with it so I think I’m just missing something REALLY obvious, any help is appreciated as I’ve spent hours on this tiny thing ☹

Attempted:

- Using the script src/import-as-module installs as custom code in the head/body
- Using those as workflows on app page load
- Above, except using [Statechange’s](https://weweb-embed.statechange.ai/) WeWeb Embed

Both the workflows “succeed” when tested, but when published Google Chrome flags that “Wheel” is not defined, as if it’s not importing the script - but from the Network tab it looks like it is.

I then just forked the github and imported that fork as a custom component (element), but then drag and drop does nothing. (No error code or anything, it actually bugs out and stops me from drag and dropping anything else until I refresh.)

I’m ABSOLUTELY missing something that must be super simple, is anyone able to help? Thanks so much.
