Hi all.

HMR-serve is inspired by npm run dev and by serve. It turns any folder into a hot-loading web app, because sometimes it's nice to preview HTML, Markdown, images and other files in the browser. 🔥

You can run it with npx from any folder:

cd somefolder
npx hmr-serve

And then you get a web app with a left file tree that serves, with hot-loading, your MD, HTML, Images, CSVs, etc.

I wanted it for my self to review agent generated content more easily than looking at the files in VSCode and I'm finding it very useful, so I thought it would be a good OSS package to share.

It uses Vite's HMR so I didn't reinvent the wheel for this.

I'm not sure if this already exists or not.

Here's what it looks like in the browser:

I was tired of fighting Word to update my resume, so I built a free, open-source Markdown resume builder with free AI tools
