@kevin Thanks a bunch for hunting us! Hello Product Hunters, This is Jay, the Co-Founder of LambdaTest. It's great to be back here, and we're thrilled to share our new productβ€” a developer-friendly browser that is meant to help you build responsive websites or web-applications in a trice.πŸš€ The year 2020 has been a crazy year for everyone. As teams across the world kickstarted the new phase in work from home culture, they realized that the "in-house" device labs were not that "in-house" anymore. To help these teams, we created LT Browser, a desktop application that will help you Instantly View, Build, and Debug your website on 45+ mobile, tablet, & desktop resolutions. Whether it's an iPhone, iPad, Samsung, or even a MacBook, you get all the resolutions in the LT browser !! And if your website is not working well on any device, you can leverage the integrated developer tools to debug your issue. And not just live websites, you can check your locally hosted website's responsiveness as well. Record videos of a complete test flow, check how your website performs on different network speeds, even run a performance report of your website with a click of a button. Give it a shot, and let me know what you like in it and what you believe we should add !!! Also, to celebrate the launch, we have a special offer for all Product Hunters. Use coupon code: PH20 to get an exclusive discount of 20% on all our annual paid plans.

@kevin @jay_0687 interesting. what tech stack do you use?
Jay Singh
Hey @vladojsem This application was built using Electron Framework as base with ReactJS for frontend and Golang for backend. Also used Lighthouse.
Tejas Impa
@kevin @jay_0687 Just downloaded this and I am impressed!
Ankita Tibrewall
@kevin @jay_0687 Running up emulators for each device was a serious overhead that I was facing. Glad to see its this much easy.
Chaitali Basu
@kevin @jay_0687 This is awesome! Just downloaded the app and it is super easy to use. Thanks for introducing LT Browser!
Daryll Wong
Wow this is the swiss-army knife for UI testing! Particularly, a great range of devices and the ability to test realistically (not just a simulator for screen sizes only), and being able to take screenshots and comment directly on them for any bugs or what not. Great stuff! Will be looking out for potential future use.
Jay Singh
Hey @daryllman Thanks for the feedback and hope that the platform would be of great use to you and your team :) If you wish I would also be happy to give you a one-to-one walkthrough of the platform to highlight it's major use-cases and how it can help you in your development process. Feel free to reachout over our in-app chat support to connect!! 😊

Suresh Chowdhary
LT Browser looks to be an amazing product. But I have some out of the box resolution requirement. Does LT Browser support non-popular resolutions?
Jay Singh
@sureshchowdhary Yes, you can. LT browser has an option to add Custom Device resolutions in it. So in case, if the default mobile, tablet or desktop resolutions doesn't meet your testing requirements, you can always add more devices to the browser based over the user agent. Do try it and let me know how it goes. 😊
Suresh Chowdhary
@sureshchowdhary @jay_0687 great to hear that. But how can I add custom device? Can you help me understand?
Jay Singh
@sureshchowdhary You can find that option by clicking over the big + icon and heading to a tab for custom devices. All you need is to fill the fields there and you would be good to go. :) FYI - You could also find these steps in the support documentation that is present over the help button inside the LT browser.
Suresh Chowdhary
@jay_0687 Oh great! Will check it out. So basically we are developing an e commerce platform. So as an important feature of it, we want to test it from different countries. Is that possible in LT Browser?
Jay Singh
We're working to bring geolocation testing in our upcoming sprints @sureshchowdhary. Meanwhile, you can leverage geolocation testing over LambdaTest. 😊
Archana Bhowmick
@jay_0687 A very prominent product indeed! Can I somehow disable the mirroring actions? I might sometimes need it, especially on comparing mobiles and desktops?
Jay Singh
First of all, thank you so much @archanabhowmick. Second, yes, you can disable the mirroring actions when you like. In the setting on top right, you will find a toggle for device sync. Just turn that toggle off when you wish to test without mirroring actions. πŸ˜„
Florian ARGAUD
Let me tell you something: I'm a LambdaTest customer, and I love what they have done for us, web devs. LambdaTest helped me with Safari issues on one of my project, and I use LT Browser to create accurate, responsive components for my last project (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) Chrome Devtool is cool, but LT Browser lets me create reliable, responsive components by testing them on multiple devices in one click. And it's free 🀯
Jay Singh
Thanks for your vote of support @florian_argaud and thanks for being the part of the journey πŸš€
Mudit Singh
@florian_argaud Thanks for the feedback πŸ™Œ
Sune B. Thorsen
This couldn't launch at a better time. I'm working on a mobile game discovery platform, so mobile performance is top priority for me. Thanks for developing and sharing, downloading it right now :)
Jay Singh
@sunebthorsen I believe LT Browser will deliver well on all of your expectations. Would love to hear to your feedback. 😊
Sune B. Thorsen
@sunebthorsen @jay_0687 That sounds great. I will share my feedback once I've used it - if I remember :)
Shilpa Jha
While the tool looks very useful, I find the lack of devices a little upsetting. For one thing, I don’t see an Honor device in the list. Will you be adding more devices in the near future?
Jay Singh
Hey @shilpajha3 Thanks for the feedback !! And yes we are adding more and more mobile resolutions here as well. However we do have feature that will allow you to add your custom device sizes as well. Just click on "Add New Device" -> "Add Custom Device" -> Set the size, and viola, you will have the desired device in the list !! Let me know if this feature helps πŸ˜„πŸ˜„
Shilpa Jha
@jay_0687 Are there any restrictions over the number of custom devices I can add?
Jay Singh
You can add as many custom device resolutions as you like @shilpajha3. 😊
Mudit Singh
@shilpajha3 in few days you are gonna see a bunch of honor devices here 😎 My team is nothing if not fast 😎😎
Apurva Shukla
Hey @jay_0687, Seems to be a very useful product. Is their any guide or doc that can help me get started?
Jay Singh
Hi @apurvashukla3. Yes we do have a detailed support document. There you go. - https://www.lambdatest.com/suppo... Just an FYI - We've a help button inside the LT Browser as well which will take you directly to this support doc. 😊
Chitwan Garg
I have been using similar tools to ease out my testing efforts! are there any USP’s that make LT Browser different? Just out of interest, as the tool looks pretty interesting!
Jay Singh
Well @chitwangarg, the Performance report insights are one of the USPs that you'll find only on LT Browser. We also have an exciting roadmap in place to deliver more unique features. πŸ˜ƒ
Riti Srivastava
I saw that it lets you check website performance on Lighthouse. Does this mean that it also lets us download those reports and share them?
Jay Singh
Hey @ritisrivastava , You can certainly share these reports !! However downloading of these reports is a good feature that we have not considered. Let me add it in the product roadmap as well. Thanks for the feedback. πŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ
Riti Srivastava
Thank you for the information @jay_0687. It would be really great to download these reports as well so they can be shared easily.
Mudit Singh
@jay_0687 @ritisrivastava thanks for the feedback 😁 Have added this to roadmap. You will see this feature soon πŸ‘
George Liapis
Great tool -- and love the lambda! Two quick questions: 1. Does the product allow for different browser emulations on the devices? For example, running Safari or Chrome on iPhone? 2. A usual 'pain' is trying to emulate laptop/desktop environments on some weird default dpi that can totally change the layout. Is this option offered? Best of luck with the hunt!
Jay Singh
Hey @george_liapis LTBrowser is more focused on helping you test your site on mobile resolutions, and therefore may not help you in browser testing. However that does not mean that it's not possible 😁 You can checkout our main platform LambdaTest.com. That's a dedicated cross browser testing platform where you can test your webapps on real Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc. Do check it out and let me know if it helps 😊 p.s. you will also find mobile environments there !!
Mudit Singh
@george_liapis Do let us know if you wish for a one to one demo of LambdaTest platform as well. I would be happy to showcase how you can do browser testing with our real time testing features. Also Thanks for the feedback πŸ™Œ
Ankit Rana
@jay_0687 Performance report is really good. Kudos to you and your team. But how can I share this with my team?? Is this supported?
Jay Singh
Glad you asked @ankitrana20. We recently added the functionality to share the Performance Report with your colleagues and friends. You can share it by either generating a shareable link or by sending it directly to their Email inbox along with a note. πŸ“¨
deepti khurana
So a tool that will help me check my website’s response on mobile? That’s what I have been talking about with my team (well, anyone who would listen). I am going to have to say β€˜in your face’ when I share this with them.
Jay Singh
Hey @deeptikhurana1 LTBrowser will certainly help you in your mobile testing no doubt. Do checkout the performance reports as well, if mobile is an overlooked area in your development cycle, then I am sure these mobile performance reports will certainly help in opening some eyes🀣. It happened with us certainly πŸ˜‹πŸ€£
Mudit Singh
@deeptikhurana1 🀣🀣 We have a share feature in our performance reports. You can use it to share performance issues with you teams. Hope it will help in improving mobile experience
Esha Kohal
Downloaded the app, tried and had few points to share: a) Can we get more devices to view on the main screen? b) I think geolocation tests can be quite an useful feature here
Jay Singh
That's valid pointers @eshakohal. We're working to add more devices and geolocation testing is something which we would be live in coming sprints. Stay tuned. 😊
Anchal  Sharma
Congrats for this! I would love to know about the inspiration behind building this product, it seems like a one-stop solution for all dev needs!
Jay Singh
@anchalsharmaa thats a good question and yes there is a story behind this !! Because of Covid-19, as teams across the world kickstarted the WFH culture, they realized that the β€œin-house” device labs were not that β€œin-house” anymore. As these testing teams no longer had access to office devices to perform testing, they were coming in droves to platforms like LambdaTest to fill in that infrastructure gap. We, here at LambdaTest, realized that we have bigger responsibilities towards these WFH teams. And LT Browser was inspired by this need. We wanted to give developers and testers a way to reduce their dependencies on device labs, and work on their mobile websites in a faster and more confident manner. We talked with a lot of developers testers and web owners who are working from home, analyzing their pain points and fine tuning LT Browsers features to help them in their release cycles. This effort is still going on; we are still adding more conversations, still adding more features and are still polishing the platform. So feel free to let us know what will make this tool more useful for your teams πŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ
Anchal  Sharma
Awesome! Thanks @jay_0687 The browser has turned out to be quite a useful tool! Would be good to see if you could simulate different browsers (Chrome, Safari, Mozilla ). That way it would be useful to see how mobile websites behave not only on different resolutions but on different browsers as well.
Jay Singh
That's a great observation and input @anchalsharmaa. πŸ˜‡ For that very purpose we've LambdaTest in place. Using LambdaTest, you can render your website on 2000+ different browsers for both mobile and desktop operating systems. You can think of LT Browser as an add-on product for LambdaTest users to help them ease their responsive testing and development experience.
Anchal  Sharma
@jay_0687 Thanks for the explanation, I didn't get a chance to explore LambdaTest let me check it out.
Jay Singh
More than happy to help @anchalsharmaa. Do give it a spin and let us know in case you have any questions, suggestions or feedback. You could also reach out to our 24/7 chat support. 😊
Silvia Luis
Congrats on the launch, guys. Great to see this come out and solve a problem that's been existing in the testing ecosystem for a long while!
Jay Singh
@silvialuis Hey Silvia, thanks a lot! 😍 Always happy to contribute to the testing community.
Aprna Pathak
I am just starting to dig into the features offered by LT browser and I really like what I am seeing. I believe this is one of the most practical dev tools I have come across in the recent past. Keep up the good work.
Jay Singh
Thanks @aprnapathak for your feedback πŸ™Œ
Shubhra Shome
Anyone who has worked as a web developer or designed a website knows how useful this tool is going to be. Thanks for this!
Jay Singh
@shubhrashome thanks a lot for the high praise! πŸ™Œ It means a lot! 😊
Pooja Pareek
I have been using LT Browser for quite some time now. And I must say it is a delightful experience so far. The feature which I found most useful is that it lets me test the responsiveness of my local web pages by just typing the localhost address, and I don't need any extension.
Jay Singh
@poojapareek5 Thanks for your compliment! :)
Mudit Singh
@poojapareek5 Glad you liked it !!!
