Review the artifact, not the status message
Coding agents can finish a command while the product still has a broken layout, a device-only failure, or the wrong interaction. Porta keeps completion and product acceptance as separate states.
- Open a reviewable web result through the remote host.
- Download an Android APK when the project produces one.
- Keep the preview request attached to the Agent task and source context.
Use the phone as the acceptance surface
A mobile screen reveals constraints that desktop browser checks can miss. Review the real viewport, keyboard, safe areas, touch targets, and device behavior before calling the work complete.
- Inspect the layout at the device size that matters.
- Capture the exact state instead of describing it from memory.
- Separate preview evidence from release or store availability.
Return the evidence to the right work
The useful outcome is not a screenshot in a gallery. It is a precise observation routed back to the remote task that owns the change.
FAQ
Questions developers ask
- Can I review a local development web app from my phone?
- Porta can expose a reviewable preview through the remote host when the project supplies a usable web entry point.
- Can Porta install every Android build automatically?
- No. Porta can present a request-scoped APK artifact, but installation support and device acceptance depend on the phone, build, and platform policy.
- Is this a replacement for desktop development?
- No. Porta targets short, high-value review and feedback moments while the repository and development environment remain on your machine.
