What is Marionette Inspector?
Marionette Inspector is a Chrome extension offering a range of powerful devtools for app exploration. It visualizes the view hierarchy with the UI tree and application activity provides a full history of actions.

It also allows exploring radio channel events, requests, and commands, and carrying out application exploration with an inspector magnifying glass. Intelligent links enable easy jumping between the inspector elements and source panel.

Works great but the UI tab doesn't work on my site. The UI does work when you go to https://marionette-wires.herokuapp.com/
