Loom is a simple web server for Node.js. Web pages in Loom use Silk for server-side rendering.

Loom has filesystem-based routing: when you start the server you provide a directory containing dynamic pages and static files which are used to serve incoming HTTP requests.

The server avoids buffering response data as much as possible, instead streaming it to the client as soon as it becomes available.

Example websites powered by Loom & Silk are available in this repository: https://github.com/mkantor/silk-demos.

This creates a simple "hello world" website:

npm create loom $path
cd $path
PORT=9999 npm run start

There should now be web server running at http://localhost:9999.
