Feature request: automatic browser refresh about punch

[laktek]

Personally, I believe LiveReload style file watching is waste of computing resources and exhaustive. Where as Punch checks for updates only when you request a certain page and does the generation.

Simplest way to get this sort of behavior in Punch is to use a meta refresh tag in the layout.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5">

However, I've got some plans to implement a smarter, more real-time mechanism for pushing the changes to the browser in Punch.

I'm not a huge fan of LiveReload itself, but the concept I like. It's particularly nice when you're doing responsive design and have multiple (different sized) browser windows open, multiple browsers open, device emulators and possibly even hardware devices sitting on your desk. Hitting 7 or 8 refresh buttons gets old very quick.
Having them all update automatically is fantastic.

Pushing changes to the browser just seems like something node.js was made for, so I'm glad to hear you've got some plans.
