- Live preview anywhere - Cactus monitors all changes you make to your files and automatically refreshes your browser. Preview your project on mobile devices, and they'll instantly refresh too.
- Deploy with confidence - Cactus uses Amazon S3 for fast, reliable and inexpensive hosting, so you can get your projects on the web faster.
