We use the tablet as a second monitor for development

For livecoding style development, you need a second monitor. And if he is not?

COLT in its delivery includes a web server that launches the tested html page at the network address. Which leads to the simple idea that if you have an ipad (or other tablet) then you can use it for development as a second monitor.

How to setup.

Open the editor with the project and run COLT.




Click on the "green lightning" and open the page in the browser.




We take the tablet, make sure that it is on the same network and enter the address with which our page opened in the browser.



We change the code on the computer and instantly see the result on the tablet.



In order to simplify the process of opening the project, we are now developing a mobile application that will show a list of all applications launched on the local network running through COLT. All that remains is to click on the link.
