Node.js v19.5.0

To Reproduce

Follow the steps in the book up to 4.2 "Serving Locally" on page
https://rustwasm.github.io/docs/book/game-of-life/hello-world.html

Expected behavior
The local dev server should start and serve the page.

I am also experiencing this issue (linux). Limited research makes me think it could be openssl related.

OpenSSL Version: 3.0.8
Rust Version: 1.67.1
npm version: 8.19.2
node version: 19.7.0

Any help is appreciated

This was mentioned previously in #279 and #273. Some ways to work around it are to either:

1. add NODE_OPTIONS=--openssl-legacy-provider to your scripts.start in package.json
2. downgrade to node v16 (using a tool like nvm)
3. patch your www/package.json and www/webpack.config.js with the versions from from Updated webpack dependencies and allowed web assembly in webpack export create-wasm-app#207

FWIW I think the "right" way to fix it is solution 3. Could someone from @rustwasm approve that PR please?

Thank you! This workaround worked for me 👍
