Unclear what the DEV_SERVER_URL refers to in webpack.config.dev.js

I've not been able to find out definitively what DEV_SERVER_URL refers to in webpack.config.dev.js.

Currently it is hardcoded which is not optimal in any case. It's hardcoded to 'http://46.101.95.245' which appears to be a dev QEWD server in the cloud, probably on Digital Ocean.

There doesn't appear to be any documentation regarding what this should be set to.

From what I can see, the webpack config sets up a proxy from the web root / to whatever DEV_SERVER_URL is set to (hardcoded default is http://46.101.95.245) - and without this proxy section in the setup, the server is not accessible as normal at localhost:3000.

1. If we are to keep Pulsetile useful as a stand-alone library outside of the full Ripple stack, Pulsetile should ideally not depend on there being a QEWD server.

2. If DEV_SERVER_URL does refer to the IP/url of a QEWD server, then there should be documentation that describes this configuration, and/or comments in the webpack config file.
