Features

Realtime

Hummingbird pushes changes to target devices whenever you save a file in your project directory.

Filetypes

Currently, Hummingbird supports HTML files (.htm and .html files) and images (.png files). It can be easily extended to send any other type of file that is viewable in a browser.

Send Files

If you want to view a file without editing it, just type the filename into the Hummingbird Console. This file will be sent to all connected target devices.

Open Source

Hummingbird is MIT Licensed. The source code for the Hummingbird Console is here. The source for the Android App will be available soon. Pull requests welcome!


TL;DR: An open source, cross platform Skala Preview/ Sketch Mirror that also works with HTML

Installation

Installing the Hummingbird Console

Requires Node.js and NPM. Open a shell and run the following:

Usage

Running the Hummingbird Console

Open a shell in your project directory and run one of the following:
