budo is a developer-focused local development server built on top of Browserify, optimized for rapid JavaScript prototyping. It automatically bundles source files and serves them through a lightweight local server, enabling fast iteration during development. One of its core strengths is incremental bundling combined with LiveReload integration, which updates the browser when files change. The tool delays responses until the bundle is ready, preventing stale or incomplete builds during refreshes. budo is widely used in creative coding and small web app workflows where minimal configuration and quick feedback loops are essential. Its extensible API also allows developers to build custom tooling on top of the server.

Features

  • Fast incremental bundling with Browserify
  • Built-in LiveReload and CSS injection
