VisBug - Open Source Browser Design Tools

VisBug is an Edge add-on that functions as an open-source web design and debugging tool built with JavaScript. It empowers users to interact with any page as though it's an artboard, inspecting styles, editing text, and modifying layouts in real-time. This browser-based utility simulates various conditions to assist in responsive design. VisBug opens up opportunities for design decisions to be made on the front end, providing designers and content creators more control over their work.

Add-on summary

Open source web design debug tools built with JavaScript: a FireBug for designers.

  • Simple as point, click & tinker
  • Edit or style any page, in any state, like it's an artboard
  • Hover inspect styles, spacing, distance, accessibility and alignment
  • Nitpick layouts & content, in the real end environment, at any device size
  • Leverage adobe/sketch skills
  • Edit any text, replace any image (hi there copywriters, ux writers, pms)
  • Design within the chaos: use production or prototypes and the odd states they produce, as artboards and design opportunities
  • Design while simulating latency, i18n, media queries, platform constraints, CPUs, screensize, etc
  • Make more decisions on the front end of your site/app (a11y, responsive, edge cases, etc)
  • No waiting for developers to expose their legos, just go direct and edit the end state (regardless of framework) and execute/test an idea

Give power to designers & content creators, in a place where they currently feel they have little to none, by bringing design tool interactions and hotkeys to the browser

No sabes que la necesitas hasta que la pruebas. Permite reordenar y cambiar todo el DOM en unos simples clicks. Super bonita y fácil de usar por la complejidad que tiene.
