For those of you who develop on NodeBB, you may be interested to know that v0.7.0 (or the latest master
commits) ship with a Gruntfile, and should substantially reduce times in between server restarts.
Thanks to the hard work put in by @psychobunny, grunt will now detect whether a change has been made to any files under its control, and refresh that aspect of NodeBB accordingly. If you've made a template change, only the templates will be recompiled, and the client-side scripts and stylesheets are left untouched.
I believe @frissdiegurke may be interested in this 
Note: Please keep in mind this is for development purposes only. The official way to run NodeBB is still via the nodebb
executable. (e.g. ./nodebb start
)
