Please, upgrade your dependencies to the actual version of core-js-pure.

Node.js v18.12.1

Steps to reproduce:

1. install node 18.12.1
2. clone repo
3. npm install
4. npm run start

Additionally the react packages are a bit out of date. React 18 has some major changes, and reactRouter has breaking changes between v5 and v6.

I have an updated version that fixes all of this and also changes webpack to vite... I'd be happy to submit a PR under a separate branch, maybe Starter - node18 or something? Or maybe we leave the PR open under my fork and let the user choose? Or ignore me entirely :)

Thanks,
Dave
