I was pretty stoked when Chris shared a way to “View Source” on mobile. Sure, it’s not the same as a built-in feature but it allows iOS users like myself a way to peek at a site’s code the same way folks on Android can by prepending view-source: to a URL.
I was curious what sorts of dev-related tools might be baked right into my iPhone, so I dug around. It’s actually a perfect time to do that with iOS 15 fresh out of the oven and all.
The iOS Shortcuts app might be the most underrated app of all. It’s sorta like IFTTT or Zapier for iOS in that you get these hooks you can play around with to make one app respond to another and do things. Like dim the lights in my house when Marvin Gaye hits the HomePod. Useful stuff like that.
And guess what? Turns out there are a few pre-made Shortcuts recipes that can be useful for front-end developers. And you can grab them right in the Shortcuts app’s Gallery.
