   I have an old iPhone SE plugged in and running a simple web server via (disclosure: my app) http://pocketweb.io The two sample pages seen there are hosted from this phone. Edit: There's an Android version available as well.

    I had a similar idea about closing the loop a couple of years ago. I actually built the buying half you mention (olodolo.com) and it is still used by a small handful of happy customers. On top of it I imagined an Uber-like app where you&#x2

    Thanks for the feedback! We're still in very early days with regards to the UI, and I know there's a ton of room for improvement. Hopefully we'll have something more presentable ready soon!
