Problems with LiveDevelopment:
  - currently works only with Google Chrome
  - you can’t open your developer tools while LiveDevelopment is active
  - although the project is served via a local server, you can’t visit it with a different browser/device
    Static Preview

Static Preview starts an [express.js](http://expressjs.com/) server behind the scenes and uses your current project root as its base directory. This allows you to use your developer tools and/or visit your project with any browser/device you want.
