Is Live Reload = true the correct default?
See original GitHub issue(Standard Disclaimer: I love Ember Twiddle; Thank You for continuing to maintain it ❤️ )
I am not a fan of Live Reload.
- The constant flashing on the right pane is distracting and anxiety-inducing
- The user experience of your app breaking and failing to render anything at all simply because you started typing a
<p>...
and haven’t gotten around to typing the closing</p>
(or any JavaScript equivalent) is pretty brutal - It’s performance-intensive to continually reload the iframe and the entire Ember JS payload and app, so even if the flashing weren’t so distracting, I’d still feel the jank as I continue to type while the app is recompiling/reloading from the background.
Possible nicer alternatives:
- Disable Live Reload by default
- When Live Reload is disabled, user can press CMD+Enter (or your favorite OS equivalent) to reload the app (JSBin does this to great success)

Sorry, my understanding of “reloading the app” was that you meant reloading the entire app (ember-twiddle). If you only are talking about rerunning the gist/project (“run now”) that is fine.
I would be happy to accept a PR implementing the keyboard shortcut.
