synkin - preview website on phone with usb

Samarpan — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 04:38:02 +0000

🚀 I built Synkin — a free, open-source npm CLI that lets you preview localhost websites directly on your Android device over USB.

I built it because I was tired of:

Setting up local IPs every time
Connecting both devices to the same Wi-Fi
Running into localhost/backend API issues while testing

With Synkin, just connect your Android phone via USB and run:

synkin run

That's it. Your website opens automatically in Chrome, and backend APIs continue to work using ADB Reverse.

Features

⚡ One-command setup
📱 Real Android device testing
🔌 USB connection (no Wi-Fi required)
🌐 Backend API support
🚀 Supports React, Vite, Next.js, Express, FastAPI, Flask, Django & Static HTML

The project has already crossed 850+ npm installs, and I'm ac

tively improving it based on community feedback.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feature requests, or contributions!

🌌 Introducing GitGalaxy: Turn Your GitHub Profile Into a Living 3D Galaxy

Most GitHub profile viewers show repositories as a list.

I thought:

What if repositories were planets? What if developers had their own galaxy?

That's how GitGalaxy was born.

🚀 Live Demo: https://gitgalaxy.netlify.app/owsam22

✨ What is GitGalaxy?

GitGalaxy is an interactive 3D platform that visualizes GitHub profiles as entire star systems.

⭐ GitHub Profile → Star
🪐 Repositories → Orbiting Planets
🔍 Search any GitHub username
🌌 Add profiles to the galaxy
🔗 Share your galaxy with others
💻 Embed it into portfolios and projects

Instead of scrolling through repositories, you can explore them in a more immersive and visual way.

🛠️ Why I Built It

Developer profiles often contain a lot of interesting work, but the experience of browsing them is usually static.

I wanted to experiment with:

3D web experiences
Creative data visualization
GitHub API integration
Interactive portfolio concepts

The goal was to make exploring code feel more like exploring a universe.

⚡ Challenges

Some interesting challenges while building GitGalaxy:

Converting GitHub repository data into a meaningful planetary system
Managing 3D object positioning and movement
Keeping performance smooth with multiple profiles loaded
Designing a UI that feels futuristic without sacrificing usability

🔮 Future Ideas

A few features I'm considering:

Repository activity-based planet animations
Contribution constellations
Team and organization galaxies
Galaxy snapshots and exports
More customization options

I'd love feedback from fellow developers.

If you could visualize one aspect of your coding journey as a planet, star, or galaxy feature, what would it be?
