Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Call me naive, but I really thought that Idyll would support IE11. It is still used by over 5% of desktop users.

Describe the solution you'd like idyll build should make use of babel to transpile code that runs on IE11.

Describe alternatives you've considered Not supporting older browsers. But then make it clear in the documentation.

Research direction
Investigate the current build configuration in the repository, likely in `build/` or webpack config files. Look for existing Babel settings and identify where to add `browserlist` or `@babel/preset env` targets. Consider testing on BrowserStack or similar for IE11 compatibility. The issue suggests adding transpilation to `idyll build`.
