    Your localhost is the machine the code is running on, it acts like a server, but locally. If you want to access the website on your mobile phone, you need to find your computer’s IP Address. you can get this by opening a command prompt and typing in ipconfig and checking for the IPv4 address, there might be two, try either of them. Then make sure your phone and computer are connected to the same network (e.g like let the computer and phone be connected to the same WiFi. Make sure the wifi is not private though) you can then use this IP on your phone, followed by the port number for example 192.158.1.38:4000 where 4000 is the port number.

    And from you tag of css, I am guessing you want to test responsive code, I can advice you check your browser’s dev tools by right clicking on anywhere on the browser window and clicking inspect, from here, you can toggle between mobile and desktop view, or even choose different mobile devices to see what your website will look like on those devices

    let me know if you need any more assistance. Hope this was helpful 🙂
