On a save, changes appear in browser without a refresh—similar to meteor and gulp.

Honestly, I think this is more confusing than helpful. We would also need to make all of the servers support it. Ultimately we just want this to be a simple example that people can code against. Thanks for sending this in but I don't think we're going to take it.

I don't see why you think it's confusing... It's two extra lines and saves a lot of cumulative time.

We'd want to document it and make sure every server supported it so they remain consistent. I think the confusing aspect comes in since autorefreshing is not something everybody is familiar with - they may get slightly confused as to what state they thought they left their app in before switching to back to their editor and saving. It's teachable but ultimately it's probably not worth the effort you'd need to make all servers work that way.
