I am working on a rails web app, currently focusing on the mobile design and would like to view html screens I have developed in the mobile chrome browser on my Galaxy Nexus (running Jelly Bean).
On my MacBook Pro I am able, obviously, to run a local server and view the site on my machine via LocalHost:3000 url. Would it be possible to complete some network configuration on my phone/macbook pro to view the Local Host site on my phone when its running on my machine? Could Chrome Dev Tools be leveraged in anyway?
e.g.
https://developers.google.com/chrome/mobile/docs/debugging
+5 cool points for whoever answers this question. :)

Go to Chrome setting > Privacy and Settings > See all the cookies and site data, search for localhost and delete it. Then refresh your site it will be working.
Usually, you can access the localhost of any computer through the loopback address 127.0. 0.1. By default, this IP address references a server running on the current device. In other words, when your computer requests the IP address 127.0.
http://localtunnel.me. http://localhost.run.
For anyone using Rails 4.2, trying to access via ip address will probably fail due to a change in Rails.
Start the server using rails server -b 0.0.0.0 would allow you to access your localhost from your phone like before.

On your mac go open your network preferences (click the wifi signal at the top). Find the ip address of the network you are currently connected to. In the browser of your phone, type in that ip address and append :3000 to the end of it
