Remotely refreshing multiple browsers during web testing
| tags: web, programming
I'm working on the rewrite of Tar Heel Reader and testing it on desktop, iPad, iPod Touch, and IE6-8. I hate manual steps in my edit/test loop.

There had to be a better way.

I'm redesigning Tar Heel Reader in hopes of taking load off the server and making the site friendlier to tablets and phones.

So, I've decided to back up and rethink things.
