getting error when trying to connect

[yesco]

I'm trying to make a minimial mimimial app. Using a local file. That seems to be a nono?

get this error here, but remote storage is loading my "file://" after redirecting here and there, seems backwards.

yes, we should make that error more descriptive, but file:// URLs don't work, indeed. Try deploying your app to 5apps.com, they specialize in hosting client-side web apps, and it's free as long as your app is open source.

or you could get a minimal http server somewhere (https://unhosted.org/adventures/ has examples), and run it on http://localhost/

On most computers you can use the web server that's built into Python, like so:

# cd to root dir
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
