refresher is yet another program for serving and
HTML/CSS/JavaScript/etc. files in a directory and reloading them upon
updates. It is based on excellent libraries such as Trio, Quart,
Watchdog, and LiveReload.js.
Features:
- Serving files temporary vanished from the file system by caching them in memory. This is useful when creating web pages with build process that takes time to complete. Use Ctrl-Shift-R to completely refresh the web page.
- Auto-generate deterministic port number from (the hash of) the root path of the web page. Each project gets virtually unique and static port number.
