BigBrother - a library for automatic recompilation/reload of source code

Introducing BigBrother, a library for watching files and recompiling/reloading in a running system. It is pretty much the same as Phoenix.CodeReloader, however it doesn’t require any of phoenix infrastructure.

You can download the library here: https://hex.pm/packages/big_brother_ex
Find the documentation here: https://hexdocs.pm/big_brother_ex/readme.html
And source code here: https://github.com/Terminus-Systems/big_brother

For now the scope of the library is to be as simple as possible, however in the future I have plans of adding advanced features like reloading applications, reloading configurations.

Any suggestions or feedback is welcome!
