I thought the name was inspired by a cheap, easily available lubricant that comes in handy for every home.
I've tried many simple servers for experimenting with simple static websites (HTML, CSS, JS). I'm currently settled on LiveReload[1] and BrowserSync[2]. LiveReload attaches to other tooling and is more straightforward, while Brower-Sync when looking across a few multiple browsers (out of habit). I'm not particularly fond of tooling that attaches to an IDE, but I like more of the ones that I can pipe with arguments. But then again, I do straightforward stuff these days.
LiveReload should also be easily attachable to a simple `python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000`.
