You can download it here.
Firstly, add your local workspace by clicking on the Add button, and choose your directory. Secondly, choose your network interface such as 127.0.0.1, and any valid port(8888 for example). Lastly, click start, without exception you can access your local resources by url http://127.0.0.1:8888/my/resource.js.
You may say that nodejs or python can easily do this. I think using nodejs or python still needs some tackling.My ubuntu just has no nodejs installed...So many module dependencies, I don't like that.Aslo in many cases, having a chrome browser installed is far more convient.
