A small software that can continue to notify my memory and update the state if there is something change in my file extensions live server and live server preview. Every time we modify a web page, we must reload the page to view the changes since they are constantly updating. Ritwick Dey solved this problem by developing a Live Server extension that reloads it automatically and saves development time.
HTML
