Problem Statement
I’m using Claude Code on mobile and it’s fantastic for making smaller changes from my phone. However, there’s currently no way to visually verify UI changes:
- The dev server isn’t accessible from my device (sandboxed environment)
- Claude can take screenshots via Playwright and read them internally, but the images aren’t rendered in the mobile chat UI
Proposed Solution
- Expose the dev server URL so users can preview on their device
- Render images from the Read tool (e.g. Playwright screenshots) inline in the conversation, especially on mobile

Use Case Example
I asked Claude on mobile to male a small change on the UI. But I had to fully merge the change into main and wait for the deployment to finish before I could validate Claude did the right thing.
