I have completed writing the HTML codes for a small website in TextEditor (mac), I would like to view it on other devices. Where will be the link or URL that I can use to open in other devices?

Or, if you wanted to wait and just view it, put your project file in a new folder in your Mac Finder in documents, go to your browser, and type down this: file:///Users/(Username)/Documents/(what you named your folder)/(your project name)/index.html
This worked for me to see it and I hope it will work for you too. However, this will only work for your Mac and if you want to view it in other screen sizes, just right click in your project file on the browser, click INSPECT, and at the top, you will see a icon that looks like two iPads. Click that and you will be able to choose different screen sizes. Hope this helps and happy learning!
