I’m happy to announce LiveDebugger v0.1.0! 
LiveDebugger is a browser-based tool for debugging LiveView applications, designed to enhance your development experience. It gives you:
A detailed view of your LiveComponents tree
The ability to inspect assigns for LiveViews and LiveComponents
Tracing of their callback executions
The idea for LiveDebugger came up while developing a large-scale LiveView application for a client - we faced some challenges in tracking state changes and component interactions.
We plan to continue developing LiveDebugger, with new features like highlighting LiveComponents on the way. We’d love your feedback to help improve this tool for everyone!

Looks very promising to me. I had a look at it a week ago after it was mentioned in the Thinking Elixir podcast

Can you expand on this point?
Does it help with debugging LV crash loops for example? I find it hard currently to use LiveDebugger when there is a LV crash loops because I cannot click the debugger button.

In LiveDebugger we are tracing LiveView processes and when there is a crash or navigate, then the process dies and new one is taking its place. In 0.4.0 we’ve improved the system of finding “successor” process and it should give you overall a better experience.
Regarding debugging endless loops remember that you can open LiveDebugger in a separate window (port defaults to 4007 so it should be localhost:4007). Nevertheless if the reloads are fast then the ActiveLiveViews page is also reloading since the refresh is triggered on new LiveView process being born.
We will look more into “endless crash reload” debugging and how to improve it.
Thank you for your feedback

Dear LiveDebugger users!
We’ve got a tiny favor to ask - could you take a minute to fill out this short survey?
It’s all about how you use LiveDebugger and what we can do to make it better
Thanks in advance for your time and input!
