PLEASE NOTE: Installing this via the Chrome Web Store does require the sharing of your email address with me (and only me). You are given notice of this via the webstore, but it's become and remains such an issue that I feel the need to make it OVER-abundantly clear. If you take issue with sharing your email address with me (mine is [email protected] by the way) please, I implore you to clone/fork a copy yourself and change what you don't like about the code and/or use alternate solutions (none of which are as good as NiM, but call me biased). Further feel free to contact me directly and have a chat. Unlike the behemoths like Facebook, Google, Amazon that you probably (and without hesitation) share your email address with, I actually care about the concerns of the actual people who choose to use the code I wrote (~99%) and am responsible for. Here is the privacy policy that goes along with NiM https://june07.com/privacypolicy. Thank you so much.

This Chrome Extension streamlines your Node.js development cycle when using Chrome DevTools.

NiM provides extended capabilities even compared with the new chrome://inspect option. Check out what Paul Irish of the Google Chrome team wrote about NiM... https://twitter.com/june07t/status/861664828909264896.

NiM manages the Chrome DevTools window/tab life-cycle leaving you with more ability to focus on what matters... debugging your code. You no longer need to copy/paste DevTools URL's or continue opening/closing tabs/windows.

NiM automatically detects the URL that is generated when running node (locally or remotely) with --inspect option. NiM provides you with the option of automatically opening and closing Chrome DevTools in a tab or window. Just toggle the Manual/Auto setting and then start a debugging session. DevTools will open either on clicking the "Open DevTools" button or after the specified timeout period. If set to auto close, once you end your debugging session, DevTools will close automatically.

Avoid this extension. It has effectively become malware and is opening unwanted tabs. The author has doubled down with hostile blog posts targeting those who criticise the poor practices used to monetise this extension.

Used to be good, but I haven't needed to use it in a long time, and the dev is now automatically opening new chrome tabs with ads, which is pretty terrible practice. I get wanting to monetize, but this is too far.
by dschwegler, 2024-11-08

Good tool, works perfect most of the times. However I'm using it rarely and don't want to subscribe, and current monetization is too aggressive imo. I don't like new tab with ads being open in Chrome when I watch youtube....
