## What it is
Fenix is a desktop application that provides a visual GUI for creating and managing local static web servers, with features like one-click public sharing of localhost, HTTPS, and realtime server configuration toggles. It also includes a CLI and API for programmatically controlling servers, aimed at JAM Stack and frontend development workflows.

## Use cases
- run a local static web server with a gui
- share my localhost with a client over a public link
- manage multiple local dev servers visually
- serve a jamstack site locally with https
- prettify  and markdown when serving files locally
- create web servers from the command line
- import a remote codebase and run it locally

## When to choose
- you want a visual, point-and-click alternative to nginx or python http.server for static sites
- you need to demo local work to colleagues via a secure public URL
- you juggle many local servers and want saved, reusable configurations
- you want a bundled CLI/API alongside a GUI for server management

## When to avoid
- you need a production-grade or high-performance web server
- you require Linux support or automated updates
- you need a headless server solution without a desktop GUI
- you want actively developed software with frequent releases
