Great :)
"Got the job done, amazing safari extension that let me debug some stuff without owning a Mac! Just an iPhone. My only complaint is not having a built in select all - copy / paste console output. Maybe it has one but I didn’t find it or figure it out. Regardless, this app enabled me to continue working on a project that was otherwise out of scope. Oh, AND ITS FREE 10/10"
