Goals

• Catch issues before they are caputred by CI
• Automatically run tasks for the developer as the develop in a remote development environment( ex: execute tests, linters etc)
• Capture task output
• Notify of events (ex: test failure)
• Browser based GUI that streams log files
• Configure which commands to run, at what intervals or on file changes

Happy Path

1. Type a new command in the browser
2. Set to watch file or interval
3. See streamed output
