For LaTex there exists a tool, named "latexmk", which allows a "preview continuous mode", that is to update the compiled pdf automatically. It is really very helpful!

Because it is open-source: It is possible to addapt this tool for context, too? Maybe one of the programmers have time for this ... :)

I use the perl program `atchange`[1] for continous preview. For simple documents, you can just run

   atchange filename.tex "context --batch filename"

For more complicated documents (depending on multiple files and figures), you can create a automate file (see [1] for description) and run

   atchange automate
