Usage of watch command #70

Closed mrfuxi closed 8 years ago

mrfuxi commented 8 years ago

I was trying to come up with a usage of manage.py assets watch command. What is the use case?

The idea is that you can have a watch server running in the background during development, which can compile the assets as soon as they change. By the time you go to to browser to refresh, they are already compiled, and the page reloads without the build delay.
