HypnoLog NodeJS Library

What is HypnoLog?

Get Hypnotized While Logging

HypnoLog allows you to fast and easily visualize your application data/objects while debugging. From any environment, in any language. Forget about those black text-based console debug-printing back from the 70's.

See HypnoLog main repo.
