Requirements for local URL:

It does not support server side scripting like PHP, Ruby, etc. 

Common use-case is device in a place with no/low internet connectivity or some media files used by the site are too large to download.

Support Angular.js based dynamic website which can automatically receive updates the next time the device goes online.

Using a MacOS driven computer to create a zipped folder for the local webapp can prove problematic while uploading. MacOS creates an additional folder within the root directory. The extra folder needs to be removed before uploading can be successful.
