Our web app is compiled into a folder of static HTML, JS, and CSS files. You can serve these files behind a web server to get started:
git clone https://github.com/standardnotes/app.gitcd appyarn installyarn build:webcd packages/web- You can then use Python to serve this folder over http:
python -m http.server 8080
You can now access the app at http://localhost:8080.
- Clone the repo
yarn installyarn build:webcd packages/web && yarn start- Open your browser to
http://localhost:3001.
You can configure the DEFAULT_SYNC_SERVER environment variable to set the default server for login and registration.
