Setting up project for developing RxJS app

I am trying to set up VS Code project for developing RxJS apps. I am following this article.

I keep getting Cannot GET / message from the server. My folder structure is:

root:
 index.html
 package.json
 tsconfig.json
 webpack.config.js
dist
 src
  index.js
node_modules
src
 index.ts

index.html:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

    <h1>Rx TypeScript</h1>
    <div>
        <ul id="list"> </ul>
    </div>

    <script src="/bundle.js"> </script>
