Does it support websockets... as in, can I view/debug the data sent/received on the websocket that the web app is using to connect to its backend?

#12I was actually hoping this ran on iPad OS/iOS
I use https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/inspect-browser/id1203594958 but would like a more fully featured environment. Not sure if anyone has found a better developer browser for iPad?

#13How is this showing anything? It's a landing page with an email capture form and a 47 second video of the same screen shot.

#14Any plan for Linux support in the future?
Seconded. I've been working on a webapp that's meant to work on iOS and I haven't figured out any way to debug it from my Linux machine, even with my phone being jailbroken.
Side note, if you just want to test with WebKit: GNOME Web (sudo apt install epiphany) uses WebKit internally. It doesn't have a responsive design mode or even a way to change the user agent, but it does have the exact same rendering and JS engine.

Thanks for the tip! I actually have Epiphany installed but I didn't think of that at all.

Which is it? Also minor typo, "off" should be "of".
But looks great, congrats on launching. Excited to try it out!

#17So this is a tool for people without a Mac?

I was trying to figure out how it's different from inspecting from within Safari on a Mac, but I don't see the answer there. I just tried and it works fine over Wi-Fi as well. Maybe Windows support?

#19I could see how this is useful. I indeed had to buy a Mac for the not so niche use case of web testing in iOS. Interestingly it’s so easy to debug chrome on iOS by just heading to chrome://inspect over http

#20Video uses same music that Apple used in their recap video. Didn't like it, not original.
