Great video, great pace well spoke sir! Question: when I run up the initial app it runs but does not display - any thoughts?

I am not taking your class but I love your walkthrough. Will you also be teaching how to integrate this API into a web app? that was also done in visual studio?
What I want to embed certain projects of mine into my web app but I am still trying to figure out how to do that. ChatGPT said I could use API's but even though I kind of get what they are, I don't understand how they work within a website. Thanks!

I followed your tutorial and got an error while adding a controller 'no scaffolders supported for this item'. Are you familiar with this issue and know how to fix it? Im using VS 2022 Preview edition with the latest upates. Does the code generators run locally, or is the code generated in the cloud? I turned off the Visual Studio Copilot features, not sure if that broke the functionality.
