@Saq - Ha yes, that's a neat way of getting around the need for nodemon, that I hadn't considered (mostly as I was ignorant of the API / focussed on writing to the folder). And you could call a bash script from Vim, or as @David Shaw points out an even tidier way would be to write it with VimL.
If I have time for a project prior to the next release, I might give it a whirl. Thanks for the suggestion / education.
