What do I need to get a node bootstrap site up and running?

My goal here is simple, be able to create my bootstrap based mockup designs and use some npm related tools that will compile my sass files etc.

I would also like it if I change a file in my IDE, it will reload the browser page for me.

I thought I needed nodemon but then I have to use nodejs/express, but I don't really need that just for design mockups.

What tools do I need to get this going?

Unless I'm misunderstanding...

Perhaps what you're looking for is something like https://codepen.io, which will handle most, if not all of the things you're wanting.

If you want to use node features/packages/tools, then you need node. Nodemon is just what's commonly used to do change detection and trigger a page refresh in a node project.

If you want to use node as a standalone application setup, etc look at nw.js https://nwjs.io/
