User reviews

Works great. The more populat LiveReload app doesn't work anymore.

It is the only live reload extension that has worked for me!

Emmanuel Hernández, 2024-04-24

It works great! I will note for anyone stumbling across this- it requires the npm livereload package to work. (or at least that's how I got it working).
