Show HN: Review Vogue, my web dev tool that uses nodejs and socket.io

4 points

I wanted to learn some nodejs. So I built a handy tool over the weekend, called Vogue. Vogue watches your website's CSS files. Whenever you save changes in your editor, Vogue tells all browsers currently using those stylesheets to re-download the CSS. So each browser visually updates, without having to reload the entire page.

It's near instant, much faster than switching between browsers and reloading manually.

This page has more info, including a 2-minute screencast show Vogue in action: http://aboutcode.net/vogue/

The source is here: https://github.com/andrewdavey/vogue

I'd love to get some feedback (on the code, the website, anything) from the HN-crowd. Thank you.
