Now if only they could make a standalone IDE backed by chrome dev tools! Then I could use it for Node too :D
GitHub's Atom ( though its an editor, not IDE ) is backed by chrome dev tools I think.

#32Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well, HN itself is a poll.
True. The frontend/js focus is a tad disappointing considering how many other technologies are involved in ramping up/running most companies.
Anyway. HN is a voting system, if people like front-end topics they will upvote it.

#34Very nicely produced article, i love the use of animated gifs that is becoming popular for tech demos.
I think it's odd, to be honest, given the existence of the html5 video tag. Of course, last time I checked, there wasn't a standardized video codec yet, which would make it tl;dr for authors.
youtube and other "feature-rich" sites work only with massive stuttering for me, so I'm happy for any gif instead of a video which needs to be set up and torn down for every play.

#36Wow, this is seriously cool! No doubt it will mean more switching back and for between Firebug and Chrome DevTools. Or am I the last one still using Firebug?

#38Willing to take the rep hit... Is HN really so focused on front end that this particular topic finds itself rapidly at the top of news feed and staying there for an extended amount of time? Has there been a recent poll about topics active HN viewers deem as important? If it really is this JS heavy, that is intriguing.
I think the core idea here is beyond the javascript it's implemented in. I've never seen a debugger that can do this kind of async debugging before anywhere. Don't you think it's more novel than being some trick only relevant to front end web development work?

#39This looks great. Debugging simple 'click' events has always been a non-trivial task for me -- doubly so on touch devices where an a 'click' event can have a range of unpredictable side effects.
You can just say "hard"
