Blisk browser

Dear Product Hunters, Blisk is a browser designed specifically for web development. Unlike other browsers, Blisk was created to build the web. This browser enables to build your website on desktop and mobile simultaneously. It has set of preinstalled phones and tablets with specific screen resolution, pixel ratio, user agent and touch event support. Mobile and desktop follow each other by URL and even scroll position. Page auto-refresh feature enables to refresh pages automatically every time you modify the code. Developer tools now are available for both mobile and desktop simultaneously. Blisk is used in all phases of web development: prototyping, development, testing and bug fixing. Today we are releasing OS X version and update Windows version with new features: changing device orientation, switching devices on/off in one click, auto-refresh delay, device zoom, Flash support. In the last month, we received more than 500 feature requests. We would like to hear more thoughts on the future of Blisk and what should be done next. In case of any questions - we are monitoring this page, always open for any communication. Or drop us a line to support@blisk.io. Cheers! Blisk team https://blisk.io

There’s a Chrome extension that does pretty much the same: http://re-view.emmet.io It even displays multiple device views side-by-side. Why did you guys built a whole browser thing for that?

What are the benefits over a "regular" install of Google Chrome (or Chromium) setup for development ? I can already render pages as on different devices (for side-by-side view I just open multiple windows and synchronized scrolling and navigation isn't something I ever needed to use), I use webpack for hot page reloading (while others I know use JetBrains WebStorm) and I have never faced any hassles taking screenshots or video captures (for which I have OS-level tools). I've seen both Sentry and Google Analytics used for automatic exception tracking (on any browser) and I know Sentry has GitHub issues integration. Chrome is already "friends with my favorite tools and services" - most of the tools whose logos where shown already have chrome extensions. I can save my screenshots, reports, etc to a shared DropBox folder if I wanted them accessible from anywhere. The promo video seems a bit vague. I wish I could install it and see for myself but I can't as I'm on Linux. It would be nice if you can shed some light on what the value created by Blisk is over the vanilla upstream browser. PS: Apologies if my tone sounds unintentionally attacking or rude. I'm simply intrigued by the product and interested in knowing how it can benefit my development setup.
