Livereload without browser extension

make sure to install livereload globally on your system! \o/

npm install -g livereload`

run livereload in your local directory or run a watch script

livereload = require('livereload');  
server = livereload.createServer();  
server.watch(__dirname + "/stuffToChange");

embed the script in your HTML:

<script>document.write('<script src="http://' + (location.host || 'localhost').split(':')[0] + ':35729/livereload.js?snipver=1"></' + 'script>')</script>

alternatively use a hostname working on a different server:

<script src="http://hilariousHorst:35729/livereload.js?snipver=1"></script>
