Why?
Yes, there's already webpack-dev-server that handles live reloading
and more complex scenarios. This project aims to solve the case where
you want assets served by your app server, but still want reloads
triggered from webpack's build pipeline.
HTTPS
If you set key, cert, or pfx options, they'll get passed through to
tiny-lr as options and it will
serve over HTTPS. You'll also also set protocol to https.
