Web dev tip

If you need to look at a page's source code on a mobile phone, at least on Android Firefox and Chrome (haven't checked iOS) you can prepend any url in the url bar with "view-source:" to see it. So

view-source:https://yourwebsite

would show the yourwebsite source code

Oh this is super-helpful, I was just lamenting the lack of source view in Firefox mobile this week!

whoa, neat!

Sad to say I tried it on IOS Safari and it just said "the address is invalid" :sadcowblob:

totally forgot about this. I've been using neatnik.net/view-source/ which has generally worked well.

what I really need is devtools in mobile browsers 😄 (or some subset of what you'd find on desktop)

Here I was spending X years thinking "too bad you can't View Source in mobile Firefox"...
