QuickServe is a zero-config local development server for VSCode that lets you instantly preview and auto-reload HTML and Markdown files with zero friction. What makes it unique? Unlike basic servers, it features a deep dependency graph for smart change detection and Hot Module Replacement (HMR) for state-preserving updates. It also packs advanced, hassle-free tools like self-healing HTTPS, mobile testing via QR codes, and one-click status bar controls.
The QR code mobile testing idea is clever, would love to see it extend into full device emulation with screen size presets for common phones. Right now the QR just mirrors the live page, but a built-in toggle to simulate iPhone or Pixel viewports without leaving the editor would save me from opening browser devtools every time.
@barutcugil39607 Spot on! Since the goal is zero context switching, relying on the browser's devtools definitely breaks the local-first editor experience. I love the idea of wrapping the preview in a simulated device frame right inside the VS Code webview. Thanks for the feature request, I'm going to look into how to implement this natively.
