Automatically refresh the browser on edits #420

Dropping watchdog and our hacky webserver for livereload seems like an epic win on it's own, but then we get automatic page refreshing thrown in fro free. |

The auto-reloading isn't as fast and slick as I would like, but generally this is working well. The serve output is totally different. Looking for a way to make it seem more familiar as we lost some information from before. |

wow this is great! the |

@ngzhian Yeah, it's really neat :) Have you tried it? The output is quite different than before, but I think it is probably okay. |

@robinandeer if you still use a similar setup, would you be able to help by testing out the latest git master? You helped in the past with an issue regarding auto-reload and docker/vagrant (#178) . I'm concerned this change may have brought that issue back, but I'm not sure how to best test it. |

I've dropped my Docker setup. It quickly became a little too complex running on a Mac. However, I'd be happy to try out a Vagrant environment! Will get back soon. |
|
@robinandeer Thanks! I'll try and give it a test too - I was being lazy :) |
|
Unfortunately I had to revert this, I was able to test on Windows early this morning but it seems that python-livereload doesn't work well on Windows. I'll investigate later and then hopefully figure out a way to make this work. |

New attempt will be at #433 |
