Sorry about that, wavedroplet never quite got to something like
release quality. It requires more work.

However, it shouldn't just totally fail either :)  Perhaps there's an
error visible in the javascript console, or python is emitting a
problem somewhere (note that it's a python2 program, not python3).

Actually, now that I think of it, I don't know why there's an
index.html at all. You definitely need to run the python backend and
connect to that, which probably renders the index.html as a template.

Have fun,

Avery
