@paulcbetts The debounce solution doesn't seem to work on my mac - events happen more than a second apart. I'm pretty sure it does work on windows, webpack's dev server uses it? I'm having problems installing electron-forge on my windows computer but a rough test script with chokidar works as expected. |

This fixes #189 by changing the watchPath function to use chokidar.
No more multiple watch events being called, we can remove the throttling done by the hot reloading code.
