GoServe!

v1.0.0-alpha-4 (CURRENTLY IN DEV) v1.0.0-alpha-3 Launched for testing (New GUI)

GoServe! is a powerful and simple to use cross platform web server that is fully standalone.

The entire web stack is contained in a single binary, and enables quick web deployment and powerful web serving capabilities.

Platforms: OSX, Unix, Linux, Windows

Fully Standalone: Doesn't require Apache, NGINX, or anything other than this single GoServe! binary. No dependencies!

GoServe! was started as an open source version of enterprise features used in various large companies serving single or multiple web projects both internally and externally.

GoServe! was created for friends, and the community as a whole, to quickly spin up projects ranging from a single static website, to enterprise scale for entire webhosts.

GoServe! is perfect in the education field, mainly those teaching HTML/CSS/JS, with zero need for platform dependant server setup. Focus on the content your students are learning and developing, instead of them getting lost and frustrated in the setup process.
