How is this any better than BrowserSync [1]? [1] http://www.browsersync.io/

@kolev great question. 1. First,I need to say: puer is created before browser-sync (more than one year). 2. puer provide some features that browser-sync that not supported(debugger, mock request, qrCode generate etc.) but puer is not support the user-action Synchronization that browser-sync supported. puer is aim to providing a simple foundation for common frontend workflow .

Thanks for providing this to us and for your great contribution to the FOSS community!

The last two years, puer is nearly a personal tool for myself(and some clever colleague ). so the project may looks poor. if people also like it, I will do my best to make it better (document, gulp & grunt support, public api, etc) :)

For the uninitiated, it's named after Pu'er Tea[1], a fermented Chinese tea that was made infamous by a previous imperial taste for the stuff and originates in the town of Pu'er[2] (recently renamed Ning'er), in Simao prefecture[2] (recently renamed Pu'er), Yunnan Province[3], China. The area is at the historical frontier of China, bordering Tibet, Burma, Laos and Vietnam. Ning'er is notable for its specific altitude and soil. The same variety of tea was also grown in Yiwu, Xishuangbanna, a town so small and otherwise without note that it lacks a Wikipedia entry. Last time I visited, they had a wild monkey locked in a cage, probably for sale for the (no bullshit) Chinese delicacy of live monkey brains.* The second area was probably traded through a different, more easterly route to the north via Jianshui[4].

thx for kind reply.

My girl-friend also lived in Kunming, and I love the Pu'er tea, so 'puer' comes out. :)
