Why not vanilla Livereload?

Readme should elaborate on why you can't just use vanilla Livereload or BrowserSync. Electron is just a browser window after all.

I want not reloading renderer process but also restarting main process when sources change. And I also want to recover the position and window size of the browserWindow when restarting.

Ok. The name is also not that clear. I would think electron-livereload would be a better name for this module.

I like the implementation. Unlike so many other solutions for the problem, this here just works. I don't mind the name...

I too like the implementation. However, the name could have been better. Here are some names that i could think of -

electron-sync electron-reload electron-livereload <-- as @sindresorhus suggested.

Personally I like electron-sync
