LAN preview?

As I’m new here, I may be missing something obvious. :^)

It would be very useful to have a Preview that listened on your Mac’s LAN IP address. There appears to be a php server that listens on 127.0.0.1:<some_port>.

This would allow direct Preview on phones and tablets. While Browsers and Simulator are good for layout testing. They don’t really permit evaluation of the touch/scroll experience. This is a key part of the mobile UI interaction. Uploading is the workaround.

Great suggestion, and it has come up before. No promises, but it’s something we’re currently looking into…

SWEET! Works great. Evaluating ‘touch’ on mobile is great. Thank you!

This forum system suggests I don’t reply. But want to let you and others know it works great. The QR code was a nice touch.
