Hard to flash Wemos Mini D1 ESP32 #645

Trying to flash an Wemos MINI D1 ESP32 through https://web.esphome.io/

It finds the serial port, but when trying to "Prepare for first use" its stuck at "Connecting".

Looking at others seems to have the same issue ESPresense/ESPresense#700

However, downloading the depricated https://github.com/esphome/esphome-flasher it flashes without issue. (Without needing to hold something either)

Also, when first flashed with esphome-flasher and I got it online in ESPHome builder, it flashes without issues wirelessy

Seeing that esphome-flasher works flawlessy but the web based does not, I wonder why and if it could be fixed in the web based version.

Text from esphome-flasher if it helps:
Using 'COM5' as serial port.
