-`http-server` is a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server. It is powerful enough for production usage, but it's simple and hackable enough to be used for testing, local development, and learning.
+`watch-http-server` is a simple, zero-configuration command-line http server.
-
+It simply injects a very small javascript include right before the body tag of your HTML documents, whereby
+a websocket connection is made on the host, triggering a reload of the page. Currently this happens when
+any item in the folder changes but it may soon be made to be specific relevant to the loaded document.
