This reminded me of a very similar one but for the desktop from a few years back. Here you go; https://responsively.app Source at https://github.com/responsively-org/responsively-app

Thanks for sharing this @Brajeshwar! This is a great tool and one we played with. One primary motivation for us, that caused us to build a web-based Responsive UI testing tool, was we wanted to be able to easily share issues/links with our team. It has it's limitations, but there's something super-handy about being able to test a URL, find an issue, and then link directly to that experience on Slack, Linear, Jira, etc.

Are the viewports sized with or without browser chrome, like the address bar and bottom bar?

Great question! Right now, it doesn't take into consideration the browser or device address/bottom bars. We documented that here: https://github.com/bitcomplete/labs-delta-viewport-tester-vi... (Caveat #1).

We plan to address this in the future, but at the moment, Viewport Tester works in a similar way to Chrome's native Device Inspector: it resizes the viewport to the exact dimensions.

could this be a replacement for emailonacid's device viewport preview feature?

This absolutely could work with HTML emails. One challenge with Email On Acid's is you do need to have an account with them, and it is limited to emails. We find most of our viewport testing is related to landing pages, etc.
