Research direction
Open the “Building your first Solid app” tutorial and follow its “Edit on CodeSandbox” link. Inspect the CodeSandbox project at _posts/developers/apps/inrupt-tutorial/codesandbox/, starting with index.js, and reproduce the duplicate process declaration in the listed browsers. Done means the example opens without that syntax error.

Description
Search terms you've used
I searched "CodeSandbox" in this repository issues. There was none
Describe the bug
On this page, the CodeSandbox example for the example app doesn't work with error message: "SyntaxError / Identified 'process' has already been declared" (or "Cannot declare a const variable twice: 'process'." on Safari)
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Go to https://solidproject.org/developers/tutorials/first-app
- Scroll down a bit, and click "Edit on CodeSandbox"
- Wait for like 5 seconds
- Boom
- Even if I open the page on a new tab as instructed, I see this error. I guess the instruction there isn't related to this issue.
Expected behavior
There should be no error message popping up
