I built Responsivator to easily share responsive web pages with people. To send a link to somebody with the header and controls hidden, you just do this: http://dfcb.github.com/Responsivator/?site=http://www.alista...

You can customize what sizes and labels you want (click the customize button)

Awesome project. Just submitted a pull request to allow URLs which start with https:// (right now it appends http so https://domain/ becomes http://https://domain/).

I really like this and have bookmarked it. I'll mostly be using it to demonstrate quickly to my customers how sites will look for a variety of devices in a simple way they'll understand.

Any thoughts on monetization? Or are you planning on keeping this free?

Free! Especially since this builds upon work done by others.

I'm pushing open source hard at the company I work for (Draftfcb). It has been an easy sell, actually. This is one of a few projects our dev group has released, with more on the way... http://dfcb.github.com/

This is really cool, great work!

The only problem I can see is that it doesn't work with sites that use user agent sniffing serve up mobile sites (see bbc.co.uk - http://dfcb.github.com/Responsivator/?site=bbc.co.uk) I realise that's not technically 'responsive', but it would be cool if responsivator could handle that as well.

Having said all that, I don't think it's even possible to spoof different user agents in iframes(?), maybe could be done using a headless browser to take screenshots?

That BBC site isn't responsive at all... it's just a redirect to a mobile site.

> maybe could be done using a headless browser to take screenshots?

Or more simply, pass the request through a proxy which sets the right user agent.

For some reason, it's not updating the website link when you click on the random button. Cool site though :-)

Fixed!

Great work, this is awesome. I just used it to check out my site: http://dfcb.github.com/Responsivator/?site=http://flipmeme.c...

Does not work with my wordpress.com blog. Blank. I know it's not responsive, so maybe instead of blank it should throw up a dialog box instead of just blank?

Try tumblr.com and stackoverflow.com after logging in; it doesn't deal with redirects for logged-in users well.

I don't know about tumblr.com, but stackoverflow doesn't allow their site to be viewed within an iframe (security reasons). Nor does facebook.com or google.com. I also hope most banking sites wouldn't allow this.

That said, it seems like a useful tool when you are the developer and want to see how it renders for different viewscreens.

This is really useful, especially since I've been working on various responsive projects lately. Thanks!

Nice. It's like a shareable version of Firefox's Responsive Design View!

Scroll bars take away from widths.

very nice and usefull tool!
