Not sure what “Simple Browser” is, but you need to start the node server using the start script from the terminal npm run start.

I tried so


The not found is expected, as nothing is being served (logging doesn’t server anything).

But you need to make sure the server is running. Gitpod will automatically start the server, so you do not need to do anything. But if you stop the server you have to restart it and (unless you have added --watch to the start script) you have to manually stop and restart the server after any code change.

if the terminal you started the server is the one shown, that server is not running anymore, you need to start it again
