Web Server for Framer

Copyright (c) 2014 Koen Bok / Podium BV / framerjs.com

Small web server script that you can drop in and run from every Framer Studio 
project to serve it to the browser over http. This is great if you want to avoid
same origin policy errors in the browser, but also nice to preview it on another
device connected to the same network.

To use it, copy this file into your .framer project and double click it.

This script tries to be smart and:

- Report your local network ip address
- Automatically select an open port
- Reuse the same port for the same project (if possible)
