Errors prevent app from running at all

[PaulJuliusMartinez]

A key feature of TypeScript is that it still emits output, even when there are type errors. This allows code to still be run even in the presence of type errors. However, if I add let str: string = 1; to src/index.tsx in a brand new app, I only see the "Failed to compile" message in my browser.

Is there anyway I can get around this behavior? I'm perfectly content to only see the compilation errors in my console.

I was having this same issue when using react-scripts-ts, I wrote a comment in the other repo about this:
