Edoardo Del Nonno’s Post

Tired of manually hitting refresh in the browser every time I save an HTML/CSS/JS file. To fix this bottleneck, I built a lightweight Python script using Watchdog and Selenium. *What it does*: It monitors your local project directory and automatically triggers a Chrome refresh the millisecond it detects a file modification (Cmd+S / Ctrl+S). *Why I built it*: I prefer writing front-end code in simple text editors (like Sublime Text) rather than heavy IDEs, but I missed the built-in "Live Server" functionality. I’ve also included one-click executable launchers to bypass the terminal entirely after the first (quick) setup. Source code and instructions are available on my GitHub if you want to use it: https://lnkd.in/diMXrEmQ P.S. As I'm still new to Python and GitHub, the code is rather simple, but it successfully solved a nuisance I had. #Python #WebDevelopment #Automation #Coding #Productivity
