Hey guys. Phonsole is an app that allows you to view console output from your PC on your phone or tablet. This lets you use your phone as a wireless secondary monitor just for console output, without the extra CPU and battery usage of something like duet display.

I've found it very useful for displaying output from gulp/grunt watch tasks when I'm on my laptop, and I'm sure there are lots of other uses for it as well (e.g. monitoring a command running on a server).

The app's written almost entirely in clojure/clojurescript, and is completely open source (links to the github repos below). If you find a bug, or have a feature request, please either reply here or make an issue on github. All PRs are welcome. Also, if anyone can think of a better name than phonsole I'd appreciate it :P.

Name Idea:

Pipesole, Pipe your console output to other devices, would require more apps for it tho e.g. phones, tablets and 2 in 1's

Gotta say, not a fan of that login popup to even read the content... F12 delete overlay all the way :)

Haha sorry about that, I'll get that fixed when I have time :)
