livemd

Overview

I wanted a simple tool that watched file updates as I worked on design docs in a real editor. I also didn't want to npm install anything. So I wrote a server in Go, with live Markdown updates over websockets.

Libraries Used

• github.com/russross/blackfriday
• golang.org/x/net/websocket
• github.com/rjeczalik/notify

Usage

go get github.com/barakmich/livemd
cd $PROJECT_DIR
livemd

And visit http://localhost:8080 in your browser. When you save Markdown files in that directory, if you're looking at the file, it will automatically reupdate the content.
