Add simple local server

A local server providing a web interface for generating passwords.

Hi my big dog, With Electron maybe?

[borfast]

Hi. Thanks for the suggestion. Electron is meant for graphical user interface applications, not servers, though. And even for GUIs it's a humongous beast. It would take something that takes less than 500 KB and turn it into a 100 MB monster, so it's far from appropriate for this.

Well, electron no, so you want to say something like this? but your own version with node.js SimpleHttpServer, and other inputs ? ? LMFAOO

and another thing I don't understand, electron weighs, but it is server/client oriented rules with Node.js

Yes, I mean a simple HTTP server a user can launch on his machine, maybe even have a simple API.

Basically provide something similar to what I provide on my website, and which that other website apparently copied.

Why is that funny?

It doesn't exclude the possibility of a GUI application, which would also make sense (though I would still prefer to use something else other than Electron). I just meant that for a server, Electron would not be the appropriate choice.

You know that I like vaadin flow, it is a web framework for server and client, very modern, since the code with which I solved the password of the day was with the java code

, I like java, I want to do a UI with vaadin flow for this.

So we are looking for a light web framework maybe? for your node.js code ?

_Another thing that I also see, that if the design is responsive then better,

PWA too.

You can create a UI for this in Java, if you want. It's the beauty of open source software, anyone can contribute :)
