  When you upload the project folder, all the files are being served over HTTP/HTTPS. It looks like locally you're opening things over the file system, which browsers treat differently. You should run a development server on your machine when working on stuff locally- try something like http-server or the Live Server VSCode extension.

  If we don’t have a web server on our machine, we can use the simple, zero-configuration command-line http-server. You need Node.js installed on your machine. Npx is a tool for executing Node packages, and we can use it to run our server:

• Create a Service Worker with TypeScript
  dev.to | 2021-03-23

  You can test the service worker by running your project locally with the http-server npm package. First make sure to compile the TypeScript service worker code by using the command npm run build-typecheck. Then, to install the http-server npm package run the command npm i http-server --save-dev. After installing run the command http-server in your project folder where the index.html and offline.html pages are. You should then see your website in the browser by navigating to the default http-server url localhost:8080. With browser dev tools you can inspect your website including managing service worker installation state and cache status.

  Then to use the http-server npm package run the command npm run serve, and you should see the http-server npm package output the url it is serving. It is most likely the default setting so navigating to "localhost:8080/sitemap.xml" should show the sitemap file that will look similar to this:

  The documentation is quite lacking, my apologies for that. As u/jstavgguy mentioned, the file format of the decks is JSON. You can open up the files in any text editor and you will see that it's a pretty simple file identifying the cards to include and the location of their images. As I cannot provide the images to the cards, you will need to host them yourself somewhere. For example, I store them on a machine in my home office and run a NodeJS http-server on the machine to make them accessible to all my devices on the same network.

• How to quickly mock an API server in a client-side project
  dev.to | 2021-01-14

  In this tutorial, we walked through a very basic way to define data for a web application, generate hundreds of realistic records, then serve them from a mock API that can be consumed by the application. This is only a very bare minimum implementation of these steps. I highly advise going through the Mockaroo and json-server documentation for a wide variety of other uses and configurations that can suit your frontend development needs even more closely.

• 3 Reasons Why You Should Choose NGINX Over Http-server For Your Static Site
  dev.to | 2020-09-26

  I host this blog on an instance of AWS EC2, which runs ubuntu. For those who are unfamiliar with AWS EC2, it's a virtual machine that runs in the cloud and that you can do anything you want with. Because of this freedom, when the time came to chose the HTTP server that would serve my static files I had a lot of options. I considered different candidates but there were two clear favorites: NGINX and, perhaps, less known Node.js module called http-server.
