Working in dumber to setup a sample for some help and its not saving today for me. Was working yesterday.

Anyone else having issues saving a gist?

Error Toast Message: Failed to save gist: Failed to fetch

Console error:

```auto

I have no issue to save my own gist. But I am getting another problem in your gist, probably unrelated.

```auto
Failed to fetch //cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@aurelia/runtime@0.8.0-dev.202007050834/package.json

```

Try logout and login with github account again.

So after running around and checking some more it appeared it was only my dev VM that was having the issue.  
Clearing cache/data, logging out/in made no difference.

Turns out it was the CORS extension I use for development that was causing the issue. When I turned it off, the save started to work again in dumber.

Sorry for the false alarm.
