1. By default, LiveReload lives in the system menu bar on 10.7+ and in the Dock on 10.6. You can change that by clicking the gears button in the main window's title bar.
2. The essential web developer tool: When you save a file, LiveReload preprocesses it as needed and refreshes the browser automatically.
3. Even cooler, when you change a CSS file or an image, the browser is updated instantly without reloading the page.
4. Click the browser extension toolbar button if going the extensions route.
5. LiveReload only monitors the local file system, so the code you edit has to be there somehow.
6. Changing any other file (including HTML, PHP, Ruby, etc) triggers an automatic page reload.
7. Works great with many popular editors: Espresso, Coda 1, TextMate, Sublime Text, BBEdit, SubEthaEdit.
8. Works with multiple browsers, mobile devices and simulators, even inside preview windows of apps like Espresso and Coda 1.
9. A red dot in the menu bar icon indicates that the browser is connected to LiveReload.
