Re: REPL to any browser in the cloud
#3Interesting. So I can access the web console right?
I guess if people turn this into a server would be awesome.
Sometimes I want to test cross-browser compatibility. For example, Firefox uses textContent instead of innerText. I can easily verify this without having to have Firefox and Chrome (and IE, Opera, etc) on the same machine at the same time.

Exactly why I decided to put this together – quick feature tests on different browsers you intend to support.
The case you mentioned gets me every time: https://i.cloudup.com/ZQApueTFl6.png

Thanks! I will contribute when my hands are a bit loosen. I really like the idea behind it.

#6This provides a service similar to "Can I use..." (http://caniuse.com). But I like the idea of testing behavior as well. Behavior differences are only reproducible in certain browsers, but aren't necessarily listed on caniuse.

#7Very cool, this is especially useful on OS X or Linux where you don't have easy access to IE. SauceLabs is an incredible service, but for cases like these it is often overkill to fire up a full browser session to quickly check something in the console. I look forward to using this!

trying to understand it: is it a headless full browser that we're trying to connect.?

#10I like using http://www.browserstack.com/ for VNC'ing into remote browsers.
