Ariana

Ariana is a tool to debug your JS/TS code in development way faster than with a traditional debugger or console.log statements.

Features:

• 📑 Overlay recent execution traces on top of your code
• 🕵️ Inspect values taken by expressions in your code
• ⏱️ See how long it took for any expression in your code to run

Please note Ariana is currently in beta and may experience issues. If you find some, feel free to submit them on our GitHub or on our Discord.

How to use

Optional: Clone this simple node.js repository if you just want to try out Ariana first:

git clone https://github.com/dedale-dev/node-hello.git
cd node-hello
npm i

1) ✨ Run your codebase's package.json commands with the Ariana left-side panel, no setup required.

2) 👾 Get instant debugging information "traces" from your code files after they got ran by pressing ctrl + shift + p and searching for the Ariana: Toggle Traced Expressions Highlighting command.

• 🗺️ Know which code segments got ran and which didn't
• 🕵️ Inspect the values that were taken by any expression in your code

3) And voilà! 🥳 No debugger or console.log needed anymore in development

Code processing disclaimer

We need to process (but never store!) your JS/TS code files on our server based in EU in order to have Ariana work with it. It is not sent to any third-party including any LLM provider. An enterprise plan will come later with enterprise-grade security and compliance. If that is important to you, please let us know.
