Meet Mata: live reload for Rack Apps | Rails Designer

I build quite a few sites. For my own products or I help others. Since I released Perron that is my go-to static site generator now. But it was missing one feature for a speedy development cycle: live reload. Not just a page refresh, but more like hot reloading. Most live reload solutions either require ActionCable (overkill when using Perron) or just do full-page reloads (annoying/too minimal). I wanted something in between. Meet Mata: a lightweight live reload solution for Rack apps. It uses Server-Sent Events (SSE) and idiomorph. .
