Not really a question, just a good tool suggestion for fellow Node.js developers.

Hi guys, if you're tired of re-typing

"node app.js"

again and again, you can use nodemon .

It is a tool that watches if your file has changed, and will restart the Node.js server immediately when changes are made to your app.js file.

It'll save you lots of typing when you're developing a Node.js app.
