Question regarding the dev setup

[jakemac53]

Hi! I recently checkout out this repo to work on a quick bug fix, and I was wondering a bit about the dev setup. In particular, the grind serve task does not support re-building when you make edits to the code.

It does appear however that just running dart run build_runner serve works perfectly fine, so I was wondering if there is a reason that grind serve doesn't just use that server, which would give it automatic incremental rebuilds? Or should the contributing.md file possibly mention just running dart run build_runner serve for local development?

There's a slight issue when you use dart run build_runner serve, it will work as long as you are using dart2js. I filed #2383 since I can't find any issues about this.

But other than that I don't see why we can't provide a grind task for both options.

Related to #1069

Closing as stale, because the web-based frontend has been removed from the repo, now you can use flutter run albeit with some custom HTTP headers depending on the development task at hand. Thanks!
