Editor: BBEdit. Cmd+B is hooked to the following AppleScript for my project: tell application "BBEdit" save front document end tell tell application "Terminal" if (count of windows) is 0 then do script "/path.to.my/make.command" else do script "/path.to.my/make.command" in window 1 end if end tell tell application "Google Chrome" activate end tell My make.command (simplified): #!/bin/sh coffee -c mycode.coffee lessc -x mycode.less > mycode.css rsync -avz --delete --force --exclude ".DS*" -e "ssh my.ppk" /localpath/www user@me.com:/remotepath/www On my server, I run a changed.php file: function fileHash($fn) { echo sprintf("%u.", crc32(file_get_contents(dirname(__FILE__) . $fn))); } header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); fileHash('mycode.js'); fileHash('mycode.css'); On all my HTML pages, I run this piece of CoffeeScript (compiled above to JS): # defined elsewhhere: # debugmode (bool) # reloadIfChangedLast (empty string) # getCurrentView() returns #pageHashURL reloadIfChanged = -> if not debugmode return false $.ajax type: 'GET' url: 'me.com/changed.php?rnd=' + Math.random() error: -> setTimeout reloadIfChanged, 500 return success: (data) -> if reloadIfChangedLast and data and reloadIfChangedLast isnt data reloadIfChangedLast = data document.location.href = 'index.html?rnd=' + Math.random() + '#' + getCurrentView() else if data reloadIfChangedLast = data setTimeout reloadIfChanged, 500 return return It may seem like a lot of hassle but for me it's just copy-paste and edit a few things per project. And the benefits are tremendous.
