devd

Building web pages can be a difficult task that gets even more complicated if you lack the appropriate means of doing so.

Web pages require you to test them constantly, as they involve large amounts of elements that can malfunction if not properly configured. If you find yourself in this situation, you can rely on devd, a lightweight application that can simplify your work.

This application comes as a portable one, as it does not require you to install it and it does not modify any of your Windows registry entries.

It is a lightweight application that can be accessed exclusively via a Command Prompt window and does not feature high-resource usage. You can run it on almost any computer whether it's a low-end machine or a high-performance one.

Given the fact that it packs no actual graphical interface, some users might find it difficult to rely on. However, this program's purpose was to help advanced PC users test certain HTTP functions by allowing them to host a local web server.

You can access devd's capabilities by executing it from a Command Prompt window and adding appropriate arguments. It is possible to view a detailed list of its functions by appending the “--help” after the program's name when launching it.

The application logs every event after you launch it and colorize important information so you can view it in an easier, more convenient way. Upon successfully generating the server, you can set the utility to automatically open a browser window that points to the daemon root by relying on the “-o” flag.

The application can be set to reload resources automatically if any modifications are detected by using the “-l” argument.

To sum it up, devd is a lightweight, reliable local HTTP server creator that allows you to create a web server on your computer that can serve for development purposes.
