1) First run a build of the app:
yarn build
2) Then enable `Developer mode` in Chrome Extensions and `Load unpacked`
from the `./build` directory just created at point 1)
If you break the extension on the browser and it reloads wrongly you
might need to redo the previous steps for restoring a correctly running
hot-reload script.

TIP:
You can trigger a build command when saving files, if you use SublimeText,
just installing `SublimeOnSaveBuild` via Package Control,
and adding the config in Tool->BuildSystem->NewBuildSystem:
{
"working_dir": "/path/to//SearchSynonyms",
"shell_cmd": "cd $folder && yarn build"
}
($folder is a Sublime special var)
This allows you to do SaveFile->RebuildExtension->ReloadExtension
You might need to reload the current browser tabs, in otder to see
the new changes.

As from the title: this supports automatically reloading the extension from the
build/folder, when it see changes.Activating a "build-when-save" functionality on their IDE, the users can just code and have the extension be automatically Built & Reloaded in Chrome, when they save some change.
Sorry if I didn't open an issue beforehand; I didn't have much to discuss, since I added the feature mainly for my own necessity.
If you think it might be worth to merge, you're welcome 🙂
Otherwise the PR can be closed and at least will be available to others that might want to use it.
