DevIntersection 2014 - MobiZen

At the moment I’m in Las Vegas attending DevIntersection. During the mobile development workshop I attended, the presenter was using a great tool called MobiZen.

MobiZen allows you to share the screen of your Android device on your desktop or inside a web browser. You can even control your Android from your pc or laptop. This is the perfect tool not only during development but also when you want to demo some functionality to your client. And best of all, it’s free!

From the documentation:

Using your smartphone from your PC becomes a reality with Mobizen. Type using your keyboard, view photos and videos stored on your phone, and use mobile apps.

  • Photo: Share your special moments on a larger screen.
  • Music: The songs you listen to on-the-go can be enjoyed anywhere.
  • Videos: Watch videos and movies stored on your smartphone.
  • Files: Use drag and drop to transfer files between your smartphone and PC.

This will certainly become a new tool in my mobile development stack.

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
