Serving through IP/wifi has odd scrolling behaviors about headstart HOT 6 CLOSED

@flovan @heyitswin Just update browser-sync, there is quite good UI in 2 version. You could control all devices and events from there.

from headstart.

@heyitswin If you tunnel your project with --s --t or --s --t=my-projectyou'll get a tunneled url which does not share clicking and scrolling with connected clients (or at least it shouldn't; I haven't used that feature in a while :). Also it emulates server latency better.

@artem-malko thanks for pointing that out. I'm focusing on V2 atm, so I don't know if I'll be putting out an extra patch release before that.

@artem-malko not sure how to update it within the project.
@flovan tried serving it through the tunnel, still not behaving correctly. it's odd that the scrolling is synced, it shouldn't be right?

You won't be able to update the browser sync module withing Headstart unless you'd be willing to mess around in the source code (cloning the repo locally and using that as global module).

The synced scrolling/clicking is actually normal. Headstart is a development tool, so it makes testing your site on multiple devices at the same time way easier. Its purpose isn't as much about live-demoing results. A solution might be to lead them to the export folder through your IP and local server (eg Mamp).

EDIT (practical example);

By default, hs build --s gives you two URLs: http://localhost:3000 and http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3000. This both will have shared scrolling/clicking.

To circumvent this behaviour, you could put your project folder in your MAPM/XAMP/... htdocs folder, and then use your IP url, but with the port of your web server, eg http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8888/my/project/export. This will also give them access to the latest files, but without any synchronised behaviour (which I believe depends on the port that Headstart is serving on).

Note to self: check out the V2 UI and/or expose more Browser Sync settings through .headstartrc file.

Got it, I'll try that out. Thanks!
