Well, that's just a little trick that lets your any 'mobile-only' website from Chrome. There are other approaches as well, like changing the user-agent (there's a Chrome App / addon for it) or installing an Android emulator on your system; but this one really works the best.

Myntra had surprised everyone by announcing that they're shutting down their desktop (browser based) website in favour of 'app-only' approach. It wasn't a brainer that it was a big So who else is upset with Myntra app? and at CrazyEngineers, we've had multiple discussions on why that Myntra To Be 'App Only' - Learnings For Web Startups? was Flipkart 'App Only' Approach Is WRONG!. Myntra quickly realised that it was a mistake and announced that they were readying their Myntra Taking U-Turn : Readying Its Mobile Website.

For a while Why Flipkart Is Forcing To Use App ? and Myntra tried to convince their users that installing the app was the right thing to do; but who really likes downloading app updates every few days? Plus, I think that Myntra began a LOT of their traffic from Google and product related searches. It's good that Myntra is back on track with their mobile website. I just hope they 'formally' relaunch their browser based website. But we don't really have to care; thanks to Google Developer Tools!

Enjoy shopping on Myntra right from your desktop, like a BOSS!

    Update: Myntra is now fully back on Desktop; you no longer need special tricks to access the website on your portal.

    That makes me wonder - is 'app' really important? We've been faced with this question so many times. App does have few advantages; but they essentially are an emulation of what we had on desktops: desktop software. The desktop software needed a computer, needed full update even when a small tweak was needed, had security issues. The solution was 'cloud' - that would eliminate the delay in providing updates, without the user having to download anything!

    What do you think?
