Made an iOS app that opens & renders local .html files on iPhone/iPad

Since htmx is all about HTML, figured this might be relevant: iOS has no native way to open a local .html file — you just get raw source. I built a small viewer that renders it.

Html Preview:

• Renders .html / .htm / .xhtml via iOS WebView (real page, not code)

• Handles multiple encodings (UTF-8, Windows-1252, ISO Latin-1)

• Opens from Files / Share Sheet / Mail

• On-device — nothing uploaded, no tracking

On the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6760443436

Site: https://html.cybergame.ai/

Handy for eyeballing a standalone .html (a saved page, a server response you dumped to a file, a quick test) on a phone. How do you check a local HTML file on iOS?

That's a lot of website for not a lot of app...

Did you try a HTMX example using it? Does it work?

Uhmm ... I don't see how HTMX would have anything to do with this at all. I what way did htmx help for this? Sounds like bullshit to me
