Ever developed a mobile-friendly/mobile-first website in the browser and wanted to check out how it looks in an _actual_ mobile phone?
Sure, you could host it in the cloud, but that is significant overhead.
Sure, you could run ipconfig to find out your network IP, only to type it into the phone manually.

As most modern phones are perfectly capable of scanning QR codes and opening links encoded in QR, why not make life a bit easier for yourself?

* clone this repository
* npm install && npm link
* And...Well, that's pretty much it, granted you have a modern version of Node and NPM installed.
