Extension doesn't work on desktop

A blank window appears when selecting a .docx file within VSCodium when the extension is installed.
I restarted VSCodium and did not see a difference.
I'm using macOS with an M1 Pro Chip.

I will look into this. (I can confirm that the extension does not function on my Windows laptop in vscode.)

Hmm. Testing has revealed some interesting things.

1. The extension actually works in github.dev. It generates ~30 errors in the console when it does (rendering my test file), but it renders it.
2. The extension only errors once on desktop, then refuses to keep trying.

The problem seems to be with how either docx-preview (the library I'm using to render) or JSZip, whichever of the two it is, behaves on desktop as opposed to web. (It's the same bundled code, but it just doesn't work on desktop.) If I had to guess, it's because it's retrying the render on the web, but not on the desktop?

In any case, I'm not sure how to fix this right now. Additionally, there isn't really a good alternative to docx-preview either. So for now, I'm going to say it's best to use a different extension. Sorry, I really wish I could fix this. 🤷🏻‍♂️

TODO: Check if updating docx-preview to 0.3.1 fixes anything (#48). Also, change to using webpack to compile media folder to reduce file size. (I think it was including jszip twice.)
