Simple Node.js Dev Server with Auto-Reload for HTML/CSS/JS

Greetings. 😃 Sometimes, all we need is an HTML , a little CSS , and some JS — no React circus, no Vite firehose. But we still want our page to reload when we tweak a pixel. In here, we will use Browsersync 🏆 Node.js package. And of course, you need to install Node.js first on your system. For code editor, I use VSCode 🏆 . Assuming Node.js is already installed. To check installed Node.js version on your system, open your terminal (Command Prompt / PowerShell — Windows) then type: node --version We can employ nvm to make Node.js installation easier to manage. Available for Windows ( nvm-windows ) and Linux (default nvm project — for Debian, Arch, Fedora, Slackware, etc. — provided you've got bash , zsh , or any POSIX-compliant shell.)

Instead of reconnecting, the adapter seems to freeze and stops detecting SSIDs (Service Set Identifiers) entirely. Cause It's a quirk of Windows 11 combined with AMD-platform Wi-Fi chipsets (often MediaTek or Realtek). The adapter gets stuck in a bad state, so Windows thinks no wireless networks exist. Workaround Instead of installing "latest" drivers and getting confused, we can do this: Check the router first — use your phone to confirm other devices can see/connect to Wi-Fi. Shut down the laptop. Bloody remove (unplug) all the peri...
