Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. If you are editing text or components, idyll should be able to intelligently re-render a new AST as opposed to reloading the entire page.

Describe the solution you'd like Instead of using "live reload", we should just send a new AST to the client and have it rerender that.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the current live reload implementation for Idyll and design a way to send only the updated AST to the client, instead of reloading the entire page.
