Hi I am a new developer and only been using Project IDX for a short time… But the thing I cant seem to get right is reviewing my code locally… When I used VScode on my windows machine, I could start my node server and navigate to localhost I could get to my site and test my code… I am trying out Project IDX so I can code on my chromebook, but cant seem to figure out how to get it to work…

Currently all I can do is either use my Microsoft desktop or push my code out to my host site and test in production… its just a small basic personal site so its not a huge deal, but if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated… I cant seem to find or successfully follow any documentation

If you’re using Node, you can take a look at [http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server), it’s really easy to set up and automatically refreshes the server when you make changes.

Thank you for the suggestion… I ended up figuring it out, it was a Chromebook flag I needed to adjust.

Thanks for the reply
