Amazing! Earlier I was starting http server pointed to my apps dir. Then going to Chrome and opening my url. But now here with justvone tap it does both together. Wow!
Great app, however recent android update removed ability to add shortcuts in app action in bixby routines !!! I don't know if this is something you can fix or its down to samsung 😞. I was using this feature a lot.
Great application. Allows me to generate Android shortcuts that control MQTT devices. Amazing documentation Amazing shortcut sync feature via Desktop web editor. One hicup is that I had to side load it to my Android TV as I it wasn't present in the Play store.
