 # local-web-server
-A simple, extensible web-server for productive front-end development. Typical use cases:
+An application shell for building a simple, command-line web server for productive web development.
 
-* Front-end Development
-  * Static or Single Page App development
-  * Re-route paths to local or remote resources
-  * Efficient, predictable, entity-tag-powered conditional request handling (no need to 'Disable Cache' in DevTools, slowing page-load down)
+It is trivial is bundle and deploy with your project. Also deploys to heroku well for demo projects.
+
+It comes with some middleware built-in, which you need not use but will get you up and running for the following use cases:
+
+* Static or Single Page Application front-end development where you have
+  * No backend, an existing remote API or need to mock-up an API.
+
+Application Shell
+  * HTTP or HTTPS server
+    * HTTPS is strictly required by some modern techs (ServiceWorker, Media Capture and Streams etc.)
+  * Add your middleware
+    * Use any combination of built-in and custom middleware
+    * specify options (for command line or config)
+    * Accepts Koa v1 or 2 middleware
   * Bundle with your front-end project
-  * Very little configuration, just a few options
+  * Configuration is via json file or command-line (latter taking presedence)
   * Outputs a dynamic statistics view to the terminal
+
+
+Built-in Middleware (all optional)
+  * Rewrite routes to local or remote resources
+  * Efficient, predictable, entity-tag-powered conditional request handling (no need to 'Disable Cache' in DevTools, slowing page-load down)
   * Configurable log output, compatible with [Goaccess, Logstalgia and glTail](https://github.com/75lb/local-web-server/blob/master/doc/visualisation.md)
+  * Proxy server
+    * Map local routes to remote servers. Removes CORS pain when consuming remote services.
   * Back-end service mocking
     * Prototype a web service, microservice, REST API etc.
     * Mocks are defined with config (static), or code (dynamic).
   * CORS-friendly, all origins allowed by default.
