Serve a local folder of files in your browser for easy testing without having to run a server.

Web development files must be served via the HTTP protocol for most modern web platform features to work. Features like fetch and JavaScript Modules don’t work when loaded from disk (on the file: protocol). In some enviroments running a HTTP server may be difficult or inconvenient, for example if you’re on a system with limited permissions. Alternatively it’s another quick way to quickly test some web development files.
