Forestry Instant Previews have never worked reliably; either they hang on startup, shut down at inconvenient times, or flat out don't work. @jdiogopeixoto, can you please investigate if we can get these working? Would be much more convenient to have instant updates than to wait for a Fleek build.

I managed to fix it for the staging branch. It takes some time to load but it's better than waiting for the Fleek build.
It also makes it possible to see the content before actually saving it.

I'm still not able to view previews with any sort of reliability, even in staging. Is there any way to troubleshoot this further? As it is it's unusable because it's so unreliable.

Note: OOB experimentation on @jdiogopeixoto's part got this fixed 🎉
Will add instant-preview instructions to readme in #73.
