Watching for file changes on macOS: https://alexwlchan.net/2026/watch-files-on-macos/

Waiting for website changes in the browser: https://alexwlchan.net/2026/livereload-in-browser/ Once my server knows that files have changed, how do I reload open pages in my browser? With HTTP long polling and a dash of JavaScript.
