It appears that, by default, the textual-web command makes a WebSocket connection to textualize-dev.io and hosts through that. WebSocket is a session-based network protocol that allows for long connections with bidirectional traffic.
In this case, the computer running textual-web initiates the connection, so there’s no need to listen for new incoming connections. But in all other respects, it’s acting like a server. The code is still running on your machine with all the permissions it had when you started it, so... be careful.
Take a look at the repo, because the implementation’s fairly small and the README has more info: https://github.com/Textualize/textual-web https://github.com/Textualize/textual-web
