Hi, I am new to node, grunt,bower etc and i always used to avoid them.

but looking at your code, sophistication i decided give it a try and started learning them, but i have one big doubt for you,

we/you can see output after grunt in dist folder but when developing, how you used to see the output?

everytime generating dist folder even for little changes is time wasting, how you used to handle this?

Thanks.

EDIT: do you have any tutorial or followed any tutorials for this excellent workflow of metis?

@lorvent You can use 

grunt watch

See https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-watch

If I am not wrong, we can use it to generate dist folder on each change, but how do you check in browser? using live reload? or save file, then wait till dist is compiled, then check output from dist folder?

actually, i am thinking of anyway we can see output from src folder? Thanks,
