In vscode, I was using live-server extension that reloads website whenever a file changes. What's the equivalent of this for people using nvim? What do you use?

Sort of depends what your writing in.

I've been using bun lately for typescript and it hot reloads my code changes.

This means it's independent of my chosen IDE

I'm only using plain html, css and js.

you can just run live-server on the command line. npx live-server

Don't use it myself (I don't do much webdev), but this seems to do what you want.
