But why not just use the browser's dev tools? Both Android and iOS support connecting a phone to a computer and debugging using the browser's native tools.

#12Another option to get a JavaScript console on Android is use Kiwi Browser[1] Kiwi allows access to the full Chromium JavaScript console that you can open in a new tab. Kiwi also allows usage of Chromium extensions. I wanted full ad blocking but Kiwi only had rudimentary ad blocking that was disabled by default. No problem, I installed uBlock Origin!

This is really cool, thanks for pointing it out! I have used Eruda and keep it in Tampermonkey in Firefox for use in a pinch but it's hacky. It's impressive that it works at all, but it's very difficult to do any actual work.
I already had Kiwi installed and it's neat to pop it open and see this feature hiding in plain sight. I can definitely see myself using it regularly, although I won't use it as a daily driver since it selectively blocks adblockers on a hardcoded list of domains which is just untrustworthy. https://github.com/kiwibrowser/src/blob/master/extensions/re...

What if you're on the go and only have a phone available? I reckon this is intended for quick experiments, not in depth debugging.

#15This is really good.
I used this a few years ago when my laptop had died and I had to get some work done. Bought an USB keyboard, installed vim, zsh, tmux, ruby, node and postgres in Termux on my phone. Small screen but worked pretty well. Had to use devtools and I found this.

Oh! I really didn't realise (young?) people don't use computers even for developing purposes. I'm indeed out of touch

#17This is an awesome tool! I am doing some basic web dev with my kids and their school Chromebooks, however their accounts have chrome dev tools disabled. By sourcing this eruda js we are able to get the console back.

#19How to use it for a different web site?
In order to try it for different sites, execute the script below on browser address bar. javascript:(function () { var script = document.createElement('script'); script.src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/eruda"; document.body.appendChild(script); script.onload = function () { eruda.init() } })();
Unfortunately it doesn't work in Firefox on Android.

#20That's awesome! But what's up with app developers thinking that the mobile version of a piece of software always has to be worse? It gets on my nerves insanely that sometimes I have to switch devices because a simple feature just isn't available on one platform.
Yeah. I agree, but completely the oppositve. I prefer to do everyhing on the computer and I hate that many times the web or desktop interface is way worse (if there is one at all), than the mobile app.
