I wanted to learn some nodejs. So I built a handy tool over the weekend, called Vogue.
Vogue watches your website's CSS files. Whenever you save changes in your editor, Vogue tells all browsers currently using those stylesheets to re-download the CSS. So each browser visually updates, without having to reload the entire page.<p>It's near instant, much faster than switching between browsers and reloading manually.<p>This page has more info, including a 2-minute screencast show Vogue in action:

The website's colors hurt my eyes, the uneven height of strifes are also fairly annoying. However, the idea sounds interesting, and since it's on github, and I don't have to visit the website ever again, I'll give it a try!<p>If it does work as I expect it to work, this'll be a very nice addition to my collection of favourite tools.
