Yes.
Most recently, component library viewers have started offering this as a feature. It's very useful if you're making your UI element responsive.

Thanks! Follow-up question: So I'm guessing a "component library viewer" is a local web app that you run to view WIP/finished components (like for https://storybook.js.org/)? If you have a link to an example I'd love to check it out.
If you're using something like Webpack, that supports hot reloading, couldn't you simulate this just by having multiple browser windows open, each displaying a different dimension size? So then is the idea that having to set that up manually each time is a pain?
(Not judging, just seeking to understand, I'm a huge fan of any kind of speed increase, but I'm curious if I'm missing anything here.)
