Feature Request: Integrate docs preview #177

Closed creationix closed 8 years ago

creationix commented 8 years ago

I've been so spoiled by using elm-reactor for development that it seems almost painful to have to run elm --make=documentation.json in a terminal window, and then go to a browser window at http://package.elm-lang.org/help/docs-preview and click on upload and find the file and click ok.

Instead I'd like to just have a tab open with reactor pointing to my file with ?docs-preview or something appended. Then I could just save in editor, and refresh browser.

There definitely needs to be something like this. I've been coding on a Chromebook, so there are even more annoying steps involved in previewing docs.

Makes sense to me! Adding to #193 so all these ideas show up in one place. This'll make it easier to make it all happen in a coherent way.
