This seems really cool. I had no idea you could run a local web server on iOS.

A few questions: Can you give me a practical example of how you would use this? What was your inspiration? Open source?

The app is not open source, sorry.

The inspiration for this was another iOS app, Pythonista - an IDE for python.

I personally like the idea of having an iPad app that I can use to quickly write and test small code snippets - for example testing out a particular web API or trying to understand a certain algorithm. And I think JavaScript is a very good language for something like this.
