This blog is written in Rust, and I wanted a way to reload the web pages automatically while I change the posts' contents, styles, etc. This is common-place with JavaScript frameworks, but not automatic in the Rust land. So I've embarked on a side quest to achieve just that: the "type and auto-reload" experience. In the end, I was surprised to learn a bit more about sockets and processes in Linux.
This post is a note to myself about these nuggets that I've learned and to share the solution. It may be helpful for future me and I hope for someonelse out there.
TL;DR
You can check the solution here: https://git.sitegui.dev/sitegui/axum-web-auto-reload-example/src/branch/main/src/main.rs. The README in that repo has some nice diagrams as well.
