esbuild-dev-server (v0.1.2) provides a hot-reloading development server powered by esbuild, automatically rebuilding and refreshing the browser on file changes. It is designed for minimal configuration and fast iteration, wrapping esbuild's rebuild API with a simple HTTP server. Currently experimental, it requires esbuild ^0.12.9 as a peer dependency. Key differentiator: lightweight alternative to webpack-dev-server for esbuild users.
