    There are many projects doing the exact same thing. Here's one approach from myself, but haven't updated since 2019:

    One difference is that it can create a TLS cert for you, instead of having to supply one via CLI arg.

    I don't recommend using it in its current form though due to its (the compiled binaries') Go version being outdated.

    I wrote something like this [1] for the team at my old workplace. We mainly worked on static html files but some functionality required loading via http. Many of the devs were quite new to development in general, so I built a simple static server in Go, as an exe which they could set as the default for `.html` file, and therefore just open via the webserver via double-click as normal. The program would watch the directory (if not already open and watching) then open the right path in the default browser. I also built-in livereload, management via tray icon and a basic web UI.
