Live reload for the cordova base app #176

Open ghost opened 5 years ago

Issue: Working on the application and seeing changes takes up a bit of time, since let say we make a small change, we need to rebuild the entire app and run it again, there is no functionality where the code gets automatically pushed.

For me, there is no reason to implement this. I don't have a lot of stuff to debug in Cordova.

Well, it can be a good idea for future implementations, since there might be cases where we need to constantly work with a device or an emulator.

The base-app main target are mobile phones, if you're debugging solely on the browser to me its a little bit as giving the driver seat to a blind person and telling him where to drive. Yes the people might arrive at the destination, but who knows what factors might there be to impede the arrival.

Anyway, just a suggestion. I can still work as it is, just takes a lot of time to build and check even for the smallest thing.
