Run browsersync in ghost mode by default #34

Closed clottman closed 4 years ago

The average user probably does not want every reader's scroll position synced to every other reader.

Found this after sharing a blog post on cassey-til.glitch.me, and the people I shared it with reported that their scroll position kept changing without them taking any action. Very disruptive reading experience!

@zachleat this might even be worth including in the default eleventy config, it was hard to discover and a pretty big departure from how I expect blogs to work.

Thanks to conversation in Twitter I have come to understand that eleventy --serve is meant for development, not production use like I've been doing in various Glitch projects using Eleventy.

I still think turning off ghostmode by default might be the right choice, but it's not as urgent as I thought initially.

Thanks!

I actually found ghost mode pretty cool and helpful during some recent development, and wouldn't have even known about it if it wasn't enabled by default. But I agree that it could be clearer that --serve is meant for development, and perhaps this option could be easily disabled if needed.
