Hi guys,
I am currently developing a web app and a mobile app with pretty much the same guts. As we all know, entering 'rails s' will allow me to pull the site up in my local browser at 'localhost:3000'. Is there anyway I can access this from my mobile phone so that I can see how it looks before sending it to a public host? Currently I'm deploying to Heroku to access the mobile site....which makes for tedious back and forth.
Thanks and Regards.
One way is to download one of the desktop emulators for the mobile OS of your choice.
You can also make your site "live" on the web with a bit of router port-forwarding, and point your mobile at the correct IP/port.
Have a look at http://pow.cx from 37 Signals. If you are using your local WiFi network on both your computer and your phone, it should Just Workâ˘.

On the phone you should just be able to browse to http://<ip of pc>:3000 so something like http://192.168.1.100:3000

Just connect both your computer and phone to same wifi network and point phones browser to your computers ip address:3000
