I’m working on a new browser for web developers and designers, called Polypane. It’s cross-platform (Windows, macOS and Linux) and really really cool.
Polypane is the browser that I as a web developer and designer want to have when I’m building a website. Developing a website and making sure it looks great on a bunch of different screen sizes is a lot of work, and current browsers don’t make it any easier.

It also includes other functionality, such as letting you export a screenshot of all screen sizes. This makes it super easy to get signoff or do some last checking.
I’ve been working on Polypane since May 2015, and it’s ready to share with people today. Sign up for the beta on Polypane.rocks, and you get immediate access to the private slack channel.

Polypane is out today! Polypane is a browser for developers, designers and everyone else that creates websites and webapps. This release has been a long time in the making, and has taken a lot of hard work in the past months to get this release out the door. I am incredibly proud of the app…
In a few weeks, Polypane version 1.0 will be released. In these past few months I’ve been hard at work getting everything ready for that release. The process has very little to do with the app itself and much more with creating the infrastructure around it. I thought it would be interesting to go through this…
