use express


const fs = require('fs'); // File System (To read files)
const express = require('express'); // Express (Server module)
var app = express(); // App (Server)
app.get('/', (req, res) => { // When someone goes to replname.repluser.repl.co/ (The / means when someone requests /. If someone requests /projects, then you would want to do the same thing, but instead use /projects and projects.html)
  res.set('Content-Type', 'text/html'); // Set the MIME type (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Basics_of_HTTP/MIME_types/Common_types)
  res.send(fs.readFileSync('index.html', 'utf8')); // Read the contents of index.html and send it
});

app.listen(8080, () => { // Listen on port 8080 (Dunno why, but for some reason I always use it)
  console.log('Server up and running!'); // You should see this if it works
});

wait i just found an error i made before lemme see if fixing it does anything

did nothing e

why are you using the http module? use express. it is much simpler and cleaner.
