About this extension
FileWatcher is a browser extension for web developers that automatically reloads browser tabs when one of the watched local source files changes.

If you're a web developer, I'm sure you'll repeat the sequence CTRL+S / ALT+TAB / F5 a lot of times in a day; save / switch to browser / reload is one of the most boring "manual batch" that a web developer does during their work day.
We could save a lot of time (and key presses) if the browser could automatically reload the webpage when needed.

FileWatcher is open source software, licensed under GPLv3.
Source code is available here: https://github.com/coolsoft-ita/filewatcher
