Neat. Out of interest, how does Tincr compare to LiveReload or CodeKit?

At the moment, it has two big drawbacks compared to those two

* The live reloading doesn't support full refreshes. You can only do live updating inside the running page. Chrome has built-in support for this. Works awesome for css. JavaScript support is a little flaky. * It doesn't support re-compiling Sass, LESS, CoffeeScript, etc. on a file change.

I'm actively working on fixing both problems.
