The tracker needs to work with a mobile device as well. So some level of responsiveness is needed. Some testing can be done using the developer tools in responsive mode.

You can also make your roundup tracker available to your local wifi network. To do this, use roundup-server not demo.py. Assuming you are at the root of the roundup code tree,

roundup-server -p 8917 -n 0.0.0.0 demo=demo

should work. You should be able to access http://<your laptop name>:8917/demo/ from your phone. You might need to append: .local, or .home to your laptop/computer name as that would be the local domain for your wifi network.

You can verify that your roundup tracker is listening properly using netstat -an and looking for 8917. If you see it bound to your external (not 127.0.0.1) interface, it should be listening. You may need to change firewall settings to allow access to port 8917 on your laptop to your local wifi. Make sure to close the port on the firewall before you leave your home network. Also it might not work at UMB as I assume their wifi setup blocks computer to computer traffic on the wifi.
