  Description     : a local development server designed to work with browserify

beefy can live reload your browser when your code changes (if you want).  It works with whatever 
version of browserify or watchify; globally installed or locally installed to node_modules/.
It will spit compile errors out into the browser so you don't have that 1-2 seconds of 
cognitive dissonance and profound ennui that follows refreshing the page only to get a 
blank screen.  It will spit out a default index.html for missing routes so you don't need to 
even muck about with HTML to get started serves up static files with grace and aplomb 
(and also appropriate mimetypes). It is designed to fall away gracefully, as your project 
gets bigger.

node-beefy is a building prerequisite of eslint ( #743404 ).
