“serve” your local directory very nicely with go

https://github.com/integrii/serve I got tired of the huge list of static asset server options out there. Python's built in one, various ruby gems, piles of npm commands... So naturally I added another (the best!) one. It is written in go, so that helps portability, speed. It's name is just 'serve'. No options or flags are required for invoking. It looks pretty. It supports hitting Command/Control-c gracefully. Hopefully this is useful to some people. Feedback welcome! Thanks!

    Notational `ls` - Never get lost in code again (hour long hack)2011 · ▲29

    Hey folks, I just wanted to share a quick script I threw together called notational ls. One of the big problems of any code base (or any filesystem) is that it's hard to tell what's what - folder and file names often trade brevity for clarity. So I thought about a version of `ls` that works like this: > nls web: Where python web server files are stored ad_hoc: One time scripts ios: Our IOS code images Adding descriptions is really easy too: > nls images Images SHARED between both ios and web web: Where python web server files are stored ad_hoc: One time scripts ios: Our IOS code…

    embedcurl.com - Pretty curl commands for your web site or blog2013 · ▲32

    Hey all, As a CEO of a growing startup I don't get to code as often as I like and when I do, I try not to annoy my team with my terrible code :) So to scratch the itch, I've built some of side projects related to what our company does. The latest is embedcurl.com I see a lot of API docs and blogs posting curl commands that are really hard to read and I figured I could make them easier to read and add some niceties like easier copy/paste, tooltips on flags, etc. They also gracefully degrade if javascript isn't enabled back to a element. The parsing is done in Python with shlex and…

    A static file server in 1.5MB – no Node, no Python, no install2025 · github.com · ▲5

    I built websitino, a small static file server intended for quick local development or testing. It’s a single binary (~1.5MB), with no external dependencies or runtime requirements — just run it in any folder and it starts serving files over HTTP. It’s written in D and designed to be fast, minimal, and secure by default. Hidden files and directories (like .git) aren’t served unless explicitly enabled. You can customize behavior through simple command-line flags — e.g., enable directory listing or auto-serve index.html. Example: websitino --list-dirs --index I created it because I was tired of…
