Currently I use https://www.npmjs.com/package/live-server for this, but it requires node, NPM, and including its dependencies amounts to ~1000 files. This is decidedly inconvenient in the context where I use it, which is starting out a class by talking all of the students through installing all of the above. It would be great to have that functionality bundled into a single file executable, or rather three executables for Windows, Mac, Linux.

I use Google's App Engine which has live reload on the development server. My main page is static but I've got one page that's a bit more complicated:
