Huggy

Huggy

Runs a static web page in your browser from a Hugging Face Space with nothing to install, and its files can be downloaded to open on your own computer.

Made by ThomasSimonini on Hugging Face. These notes are Mindket's, written from its Space page and README; the app's own files and license are on Hugging Face.

About

What it is: Huggy is a static web page that ThomasSimonini published as a Hugging Face Space. It runs in the browser, so you install nothing to try it. The repository holds an index page, a style sheet, a logo and three folders named Build, StreamingAssets and TemplateData.

Who it suits: Anyone who wants to open a small Hugging Face Space in a browser, and anyone who wants its files on their own computer to look through.

Industry | Who uses it | How they use it | Example
Education | Teachers and students | Open the Space in a browser with nothing to install | Showing a class how a static Space loads
Web development | Front-end developers | Download the files and read how the page is laid out | Checking how the index page and its folders fit together
Community | Hugging Face members | Keep a local copy of the page | Opening index.html from a downloaded folder

Skip it if you need an API or a chat window, since this is a page you open and look at.

Where to use it: Huggy opens in these places.

• A web browser: the Space runs there with nothing to install
• Windows, macOS or Linux: download the files with Python, then open index.html in a browser

Use case | Who | What they get back
Try it online | Anyone with a browser | The page running straight from the Space
Keep a local copy | Developers | The 18 files of the repository in a folder called Huggy
Study the layout | Learners | A look at how an index page, a style sheet and asset folders sit together

How to set it up: Online use needs only a browser. A local copy needs a few more things first.

• A web browser
• Python on Windows, macOS or Linux, for a local copy

1. Open the Space's page on Hugging Face if you only want to use it online.
2. For a local copy, install the Hugging Face hub library with pip.
3. Download the Space's files into a folder called Huggy.
4. Move into that folder.
5. Open index.html in a web browser.

pip install -U huggingface_hub
hf download ThomasSimonini/Huggy --repo-type space --local-dir Huggy
cd Huggy

How to use it: Online, open the Space's page and the page runs in your tab. With a local copy, go into the Huggy folder and open index.html in your browser. There is nothing else to run.

cd Huggy

Tool | What it does
pip install -U huggingface_hub | Installs or updates the Hugging Face hub library
hf download | Fetches the Space's files into a local folder
cd Huggy | Moves into the downloaded folder

Example: You download the Space with the hf command, move into the Huggy folder and open index.html in your browser. The page loads from the files on your own computer, the same files the Space holds.

For newcomers and experts: If you are new, open the Space's page first and look at what loads. That is the whole first step, and it needs no setup.

If you know the field, the layout is the interesting part: a static HTML front with Build, StreamingAssets and TemplateData folders beside the index page. The browser does the work, so no server code is called. The trade-off is that changing behavior means editing the files yourself.

Open the Space page
Browser loads index.html
The page runs in your browser

Good to know: Huggy is a static page, so you view it rather than call it.
