An Emacs minor mode that provides live web development by evaluating JavaScript, CSS, and HTML directly in a connected browser, similar to how Emacs interacts with an inferior Lisp process. It includes a REPL and keybindings to send forms from editing buffers to the browser on the fly.
Use cases
- evaluate javascript in the browser from emacs
- live css editing while viewing a page
- send html snippets to a running page
- repl for javascript inside emacs
- live web development without leaving the editor
When to choose
- you live in Emacs and want browser-evaluated JS/CSS/HTML feedback
- you want a lightweight, pure-Elisp live-reload setup with no node toolchain
- you want to evaluate expressions across multiple attached browser tabs
When to avoid
- you use VS Code or another editor with built-in hot reload
- you need a full modern dev server with HMR and framework integration
- you need active maintenance or support for the latest browser tooling
