hito-dev/wand-browser
An open-source iOS browser for developers. Test JavaScript web apps on iPhone with WebBluetooth (BLE/GATT) and WebNFC (NDEF tags).
Wand Browser is an open-source iOS browser that lets developers test JavaScript web apps using Web Bluetooth (BLE/GATT), Web NFC (NDEF tags), and camera access on a real iPhone. Since Apple's Safari doesn't support these APIs, developers can open their HTTPS site in Wand, connect to nearby hardware, and verify their code works, with user-controlled permissions per site.
Why now: It was recently shared on Hacker News as a Show HN post, likely drawing attention because it fills a real gap: iOS lacks Web Bluetooth and Web NFC support that developers want to test against.
Who it is for: Web developers building JavaScript apps that use Web Bluetooth, Web NFC, or device camera APIs and who need to test them on iOS hardware.
