    How does it know a file has changed? It constantly reloads it?

    For a less magical tool, there's https://www.npmjs.com/package/instant-server, which acts a simple HTTP server, but reloads your CSS whenever it changes without refreshing (it also refreshes on JS or HTML changes, but nevermind).

    Its just a simple little extension that reloads your css files in the background so that you can view changes without having to reload the page each time
