Description

I often find myself live coding data visualizations on the fly with requirebin. If something is not quite right, this sometimes leads requirebin to get bogged down until I can no longer rebuild or modify the source. Reloading the page reloads the script again and it can be difficult to recover (I usually have to point it at a different gist). Would it be possible to have some sort of "pause" or "reset", that could stop the current build and wait for another rebuild before running again?

Contributor guide
