Test your website on 180+ device viewports (with multi-device mode)

Hey HN! We do a lot of frontend testing, and one thing we find frustrating is the limited tooling available to observe how a URL renders on different viewports/devices simultaneously. For example, we can use Chrome Inspector's "Device" previews, but we run into the following: - Chrome doesn't keep those devices/viewports up to date, and adding new ones is pretty annoying (we've open sourced our collection of 180+ viewports/dimensions under MIT). - You can’t see multiple viewports at once (and it’s cumbersome switching back and forth) - When you notice a problem, there's no…

In plain words

Viewport Tester allows frontend developers to simultaneously view how a website renders across 180+ device viewports and screen sizes. Rather than switching between single previews in browser developer tools, users can see multiple layouts at once, save favorite viewports for their projects, and share deep links with teammates to specific viewport configurations. The tool maintains an up-to-date device library and simplifies responsive design testing and debugging workflows.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
