Alternative after December 2022

As we all probably know, Google has decided to kill off yet another useful thing.
This time it's apps on Chrome.

Sadly that means that us programmers and webdesigners will have to find a new way to test our work locally.
Fear not!
The awesome people @terreng and @ethanaobrien has come to save the day with their fork!

I am in NO way affiliated with them or their work, but I just stumbled over their work after looking for alternatives to use after 2022.
Thank you @kzahel for your awesome Chrome App, it was great while it lasted.

Another one closest alternative https://github.com/coreybutler/fenix

Also I collected a list of small webservers https://github.com/yurt-page/docs/blob/main/webservers.md

While Fenix is great, it sadly hasn't been updated since 2014 :/

My recommendation is still Simple Web Server, which still gets updated regularly.
