Feri: A Handy Chrome Extension for Automatic Web Page Reloading
Feri is a free Chrome extension developed by Kai Nightmode. It falls under the category of Browsers and specifically the subcategory of Add-ons & Tools. This extension aims to simplify the web development process by automatically reloading a web page when files monitored by the Feri build tool change.
With Feri, developers can experience a faster development cycle when working with local files or files served by a web server they control. By eliminating the need to manually refresh the page, Feri allows for a more streamlined and efficient workflow.
Although currently focused on basic file monitoring and automatic reloading, Feri has plans to introduce advanced features such as CSS hot reloading and smart reloading in future versions. However, if you require these advanced features immediately, you may want to explore more complex browser extensions.
UPDATE for July 17, 2020:
- The latest update to Feri brings a new scroll restoration feature, allowing users to retain their scroll position after a page reload.
- Additionally, a new test suite has been introduced, providing developers with improved testing capabilities.
- Feri now also offers unofficial support for Brave, Opera, and theoretically, all Chromium-based browsers.
