F5NoMore

Automatically refresh a project when source files changeF5NoMore is a project for Web Developers to help them develop a more seamless workflow by monitoring a local project for changes and immediately reflecting updates in the browser (by automatically reloading the page).


HOW IT WORKS

F5NoMore is composed of two parts:

* Python Package
