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?

Research direction

Start by tracing the browser rebuild flow described in the issue and identify where the current build is started and rerun. Done means a pause or reset action can stop a stuck build and leave requirebin waiting for another rebuild without requiring a page reload or different gist.
