I don’t have a PC right now. Only an Android phone. Any means available to access the console, or that CSS rules window?

Seeking Mobile-Friendly Solutions for Web Development and Debugging on Android Devices

Navigating web development tasks without access to a PC can pose significant challenges, especially when it comes to inspecting and debugging website elements. Currently, I only have my Android smartphone available and am looking for effective ways to access browser consoles, CSS rule inspections, or similar developer tools directly from my mobile device.

In my previous explorations, Iโ€™ve come across online platforms that simulate viewport resizing, akin to Chrome’s device emulation feature. Iโ€™ve also tinkered with Kiwi Browserโ€™s developer tools before, but it seems that project is no longer actively maintained. Manually sifting through stylesheets and JavaScript files to identify errors and understand style precedence feels tedious, especially without desktop tooling. Although Inspect Element has been my go-to since day one, I sometimes wonder if relying solely on it is limiting or if it’s just a matter of habit.

Does anyone know of reliable Android applications, mobile-optimized websites, or other solutions that enable debugging, inspecting, or editing styles directly from a smartphone? Ideally, tools that donโ€™t require a computer but still offer a robust development experience.

For context, I used to utilize Termux to run Vim on my phone, which allowed me to edit files and even SSH into servers for remote work. However, since Termux has been discontinued on my device, Iโ€™ll need to find alternative methods once I return to working locally.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Apologies if this post is a bit long-windedโ€”itโ€™s just a bit frustrating trying to stay productive without a PC. Looking forward to hearing your recommendations.
