Hey folks! I built a lightweight static file server called websitino, designed for local development and quick testing of static sites. No frameworks, no dependencies, no installs — just a single executable that does the job really well.
Why you might love it:
Tiny footprint: ~1.5MB binary, almost no RAM usage
Zero installation: Just download and run it. No Node, no Python, no nothing.
Secure by default: Won’t expose dotfiles or hidden directories unless you say so
Cross-platform: Works on Linux, macOS, and Windows
Fully customizable: Enable directory listings, auto-indexing, and more with simple CLI flags
Example:
websitino --list-dirs --index
Perfect if you’re tired of spinning up bloated frameworks just to test a local folder of HTML/CSS/JS. Check it out!
