Add support for server-baked apps #17

Rather than opening the preview to a static html file, it would be nice for the bootstrapper to support server backends like node, rails or ASP.NET MVC. Probably the simplest way to do this would be to allow the user to set a URL for their project (eg. http://localhost:8081/home) though we could even add support for Node and have the user provide a custom command to use to start up the server.

What are your thoughts?

That's definitely something we should do. I have some ideas, will cook something up before the beta goes out.

So, this should actually work now, except that there's no place to specify the preview URL. I need to add a project config dialog I guess. For now, just enter the URL to your server in the preview window. All page assets should load correctly and live preview should still work, as long as the bootstrapper is running.

looks good!
