This looks excellent. I love the cross-pollination of good ideas that seems to be frequently happening between the Laravel, Phoenix, and Rails frameworks.

That's a great analogy!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yeah you always need a backend part as part of your dev dependencies but currently you also need to add a little snippet in your production view code. It could be a browser extension like Rails panel + meta_request but I think it’s also good that anybody working on the codebase always get the debugbar, regardless of their browser or setup.

The downside is that if the project decides not to have that in the code, nobody gets it. Example: I suggest to a customer to use it. They decide they don't want it, I can't use it too.

That’s a good point, I didn’t consider it this way.

Without some kind of perf api baked into rails, this will require some server side code at the very least. An extension won't work without _something_ on the server.

But, there's also nothing stopping you from adding this during development and not committing it.

Hi I’m the maker of the debugbar. If you have any feedback or question, just let me know. Thanks puuush for posting it.

Hey Julien, very nifty! Can you comment on the inspiration/ similarity with the Laravel Debugbar [1]? I noticed your GH says "Laravel by Night" :) [1] https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-debugbar

If you click learn-more on the linked page the first section ends with this:

".... I was able to explore my application in ways I didn't think was possible. Yet, I always missed what I was used to in PHP with the Laravel Debugbar."
