Live.js - One script closer to Designing in the Browser
Written for Quplo.com by Martin Kool (@mrtnkl).
Modified for Harvest by Matthew Beale (@mixonic).
http://livejs.com
http://livejs.com/license (MIT)
The modified version of this script will only run when
a url has a target of #live. So if you visit:
http://myapp.com/foo
You are using a plain old refresh-the-page workflow. Turn on
live with:
http://myapp.com/foo#live
And your page will update on the fly. Be sure to run `script/guard`
if you are using compass or any other asset compiler.
You can also open a javascript console and run:
live();
To enable live without reloading a page.
