I build my website with Jekyll 4 and use livereload, but have actually found some use out of this tool for writing small snippets. Seeing your CSS come to life with every keystroke in real time (without having to press CMD+S in your IDE) is surprisingly useful.

The main use-case where this tool has been useful, though, is when I'm working on my Mac app that uses WKWebView and Javascript pretty extensively. It's much faster to get little JS snippets right compared to the really slow build+run cycle in Xcode.




Jekyll is kind of slow :(


After I upgraded to Jekyll 4, stopped using the GitHub pages gem (deploying to Netlify instead), it's been WAY faster for me personally!
