> "local first"

Listening on 127.0.0.1:80 is local first and not being routable is in fact local-only. Its common alias ‘localhost’ even has ‘local’ in the name.



That requires having an actual server though.


which is extremely easy to do. Most programming languages have a one-liner to do it.


The best solution would allow both. Nothing quite as portable as shoving a .html file on a usb stick.


But then I want my non-technical users to experience the same benefits. So I guess I’m building an app with a web server included.


I don't know why don't we have something like Java but for Javascript. Then we don't need Electron anymore.


Huh?
