I want a tiny local web server in DevTools

I want a tiny, built-in static web server in browser DevTools that can serve files directly from the local file system.

Browser DevTools already include a file system panel, an overlay editor, and a decent code editor — so why not take the final step and let developers serve those files locally over something like https://web.local? This would make it possible to start building and testing web pages without installing Node.js, Python, or any other external tool.

This feature would be especially valuable for students and educators: everyone has a browser, but not everyone has permission to install software on their machine. A built-in local server would lower the barrier to entry for web development dramatically, letting learners get hands-on immediately without depending on third-party hosted sandboxes like CodePen or Glitch.
