Run statically (no Node server)

• Simply open public/index.html in a browser, or serve the public/ folder with any static server.
• If your socket server is hosted elsewhere, append ?server= to point the client at it:

public/index.html?server=https://your-socket-server.example.com

• Mobile/handheld layout: public/handy.html
• Viewer-only layout: public/view.html

Run with Node (optional API/socket server)

npm start

Open http://localhost:8006 in a browser. Static pages are served from public/ and sockets listen on SOCKET_PORT (default PORT-1).

GitHub Pages

The client can be hosted on GitHub Pages via the static file at public/index.html. It connects to your running socket server. Provide a server query parameter to point it at your backend:

https://<your-username>.github.io/<repo-name>/?server=https://your-socket-server.example.com

If omitted, it tries to connect to the same origin.
