It starts a browserify server. It's basically a static HTTP server that handles browserifing files, yarnifying files and does live reloading

By default browserify-server will serve static content from /static.

It will serve the /index.js as a browserified bundle at /bundle.js.

It will serve any other entries from /entry/x.js as a browserified bundle at /entry/x.js

It will automatically yarnify any .html and .css files it finds outside the static directory into a yarn file in that directory.

It will also start a live reload server which serves a js file from http://localhost:8081/ which makes the browser refresh if any files changes. (it opens a websocket connection to the live reload server)
