I'd like to write an HTML app for my own use that works offline. I'll edit my source code in Sublime Text 3. I don't have a lightweight app to render and show it.

I do know I can open HTML files in a Web browser, but opening an offline small HTML app in a Web browser such as Firefox seems too much. I'll consider using Safari too, but is there an even lighter HTML viewer out there?

    Out of curiosity, why do you want such a light-weight app?

  • What features must the browser support? Does it need JavaScript? Must it be graphical or is a command line browser like lynx suitable?

You have not mentioned a platform explicitly in the question, but from the context it appears like you are looking for a macOS app.

For the scenario you described, I'd advise you to use the Quick Look feature built into macOS. It lets you quickly preview a file's content in Finder. The default installation of macOS include support for common file types such as HTML (along with a host of other common file types such as PNG, JPG, MP3, PDF etc.)

To Quick Look your HTML file, simply click to select your file in a Finder window and press the Spacebar key. To dismiss the Quick Look preview, press the Spacebar key again or press the Esc key.

Quick Looking a HTML file will render the HTML preview of file instead of showing the HTML source.
