- ✔️ Open source and completely free to use.
- ✔️ Highly customizable, with options for changing the port, root directory, and more.
❌ Cons
- ✖️ It is not an AI tool. It doesn’t write, analyze, or suggest code.
- ✖️ It is a simple development server and is not meant for production environments.
- ✖️ The live reload can sometimes be buggy or fail to trigger, requiring a manual refresh.
- ✖️ Does not offer advanced features like hot module replacement (HMR).
