[For web developers or learners] This will help you a lot. I bet you will feel awesome!!!

Hey friends. I have found something that can speed up your work. I know it always becomes frustrating when you do a little change in your code and and every time refresh your browser to see that little change. But how will you feel if you do the change in the code and the page reloads automatically in the browser without pressing F5 or reload button. Steps - 1. Install node.js in your pc. 2. Check the version on npm by : npm -v 3. If its not up to date, then : npm install npm@latest -g 4. When it gets updated, install live-server by: npm install -g live-server 5. When it gets installed, change directory to the one in which you are working. 6. In the command prompt, type: live-server 7. Your browser will open automatically, showing the directory preview of the folder. 8. Open any file there and start editing it with your editor. 9. If autosave feature is there in your editor, then no problem. But if its not there, then save the file in editor to see the effect on browser. I bet you will be feeling awesome after seeing the auto reloading of the page

Either way you can use Brackets text editor for web development with its live feature.

I have tried to use Brackets but I was encountering a problem with the live feature, because of which I switched from Brackets to VS Code
