DESCRIPTION

Playground is a minimal browser for web developers that watches a project directory for changes to files based on extension type. Whenver a change is detected it reloads the page. For ease of use, Playground may be started in a project folder from the command line. The Web Inspector is enabled by default for easy javascript debugging.

Playground is great for developers using a web framework working on javascript intensive pages, html, or css.

	Sep 27 2009	DJSNICKLES this application is awesome; it does exactly what i needed! it will be perfect with the following feature: * change the window title from "playground" to reflect a page's head & title html tags. this one is important!! i have to switch to another app, otherwise suggestions: * font or whole page scaling * faster updating * add py and css extension defaults * some kind of time feedback to show the page has been or is in the process of updating (for slow scripts) * window resize presets (800, 1024, etc.) (Version .06)		0

OWYHEESOFTWARE Hi DNELSON,

I've added some basic features that you may have been missing, including back/forward buttons, a url history drop down, and automatic updating to new versions. Let me know if there's anything else you're looking for.
