We primarily work on Singe Page Applications. So updates are usually only on content pages, and not the layout page. But in order to view the changes, we have to reload the page on browser, requiring layout page to reload as well - calling all SCs on layout page again.
I don't know how difficult configuring hot-reloading is - which other stacks use - but if we can have some way to just reload the content page on browser, it would be great.
My suggestion would be to call a function in the dev console to trigger content page reload. Other ideas are welcome.
