###Developing Locally

When rapidly prototyping JS or CSS, it is often easier to develop with a static HTML page. It is also unnecessary to configure an Apache web server. Using Node, you can get your server started in little to no time, and start rapid prototyping

####1. Create your HTML page

Add a new `.html` file to the /public directory. The file should be named the same as the app you are developing. You *should* commit this file to the repo.

####2. Start the node server

From the root of the frontend repo run, on the command line:

```
$ node server.js
```

The terminal will hang -- this is expected -- and the server will tell you how to access your page. Access your page at the url provided, plus `/my_app_name.html`

####3. Committing

Please commit your HTML pages and all dev files.
