Comment on Show HN: Reveal – an iOS runtime inspection toolparent

PonyDebugger is good also, but I definitely appreciate debugging apps that have had some extra love put into them.

Debugging GUI code can be a huge pain, and visualising an interface's structure really benefits from a UI that goes beyond just showing the information. View hierarchy is a good example, but I'm sure there are others too.

It'd also be cool if these apps could show more than just the GUI. Being able to introspect view controller state and model objects would be really useful sometimes. Like, when that intermittent glitch shows up again, being able to see aspects of the program state change over time and interactively setting properties to try and replicate it.
