Lea Verou, PhDOnce more I replied to an issue in one of my open source projects with something along the lines of "Yeah, you can't just open HTML files like that, you need to use a localhost".
It makes me think our community may be suffering from tunnel vision. 🧵
We assume that everyone creating web apps is comfortable with the command line, build tools, npm etc.
We build more and more abstractions on top of these, because we assume these are bread & butter by now.
Yet it appears some still struggle with …localhost.
