What is WorldWideWeb – Desktop? Description of WorldWideWeb – Desktop 1857 chars

This app’s name is an homage to the world’s first web server. Back in 1989, Tim Berners-Lee started the web on his NeXT computer.

On that computer was an app named WorldWideWeb. This app was unique because it allowed his machine to edit and serve HTML documents. The app also used coding frameworks that were adopted by Apple after purchasing NeXT: they are being used right now to display what you’re reading.

Like that original app, this WorldWideWeb is a handy web development tool.

It’s designed for people who need to test things on their Mac before moving the files onto a real web server like Apache or nginx. It also allows you to work in those increasingly rare moments where you don’t have a connection to the Internet. Developers of iOS apps can use this server to simulate and test APIs that their product uses.

FEATURES

WorldWideWeb does things differently than today’s production web servers:

• No caching — Every request gets a new response, no cache busters needed
• Easy to configure — Pick a folder and go, recent folders let you switch sites instantly
• Directory listings — A handy list of files whenever you hit a URL that doesn’t exist
• Bonjour support – Automatic DNS for easy access using devices on your local network
• REST support — Set default responses as JSON or XML for easy mocking of APIs
• No external dependencies — Completely standalone and doesn’t need other tools like Python or Ruby
• Simplified logging — Track requests and responses in a Terminal window with an easy-to-read format
• Built-in security — Runs completely in a sandbox, no access to data unless you allow it
• Powerful and lightweight – A small memory footprint with minimal CPU overhead
• No rocket science — Perfect for clients and other folks who are less technically inclined

WorldWideWeb – Desktop Pros

✓ So easy, so usefulWithin a day of getting this app I was already putting it to use several times a day. Thank you!.GordonrossVersion: 1.0

✓ Brilliant, simple, no-frills, directory-based web serverThis is a dead simple but brilliant web server: point it at a directory and it will watch the files in it, serve them (on port 8080 by default), and notice updates. And it doesn't cache. Perfect if you're developing web stuff..Njr0Version: 1.0.2

✓ WorldWideWeb – Desktop Positive Reviews

WorldWideWeb – Desktop Cons

✗ Horrible Technical SupportThe App worked initially and I purchased "Pro". When it became useless (refusing to open website files) I contacted T/S. The sent one generic reply blaming this on iCloud file issues (not the case). Also, the App started giving me the "Upgrade to Pro" message and their "restore purchase" link does nothing. They have totally ignored my communications just hoping I'd go away I guess. I'm out the $13 upgrade fee and countless hours trying to get their useless App to work. That's not support..EstanislaoTVersion: 2.1.1

✗ Ruined in 2.0Loved this app, was quick to use to quickly start a web server on my local network. Updated to version 2 and now it wants me to pay $10 to go beyond 20 sessions, what? Downgraded to 1.0.2 and now have a copy of it saved on my external drive. Why did you have to ruin something good, Iconfactory....CtrliPhonesVersion: 2.0
