Screenshot of the Creating your place… dialogue with the debugger showing. The dialogue as status indications for Server (with an indeterminate rotary spinner active), Domain (green, checked), Kitten (green, checked), App (empty circle; not started), Finalising (empty circle; not started). Under that is a section with a blue background for status detail messages. Currently it only has a single bullet point: Starting place creation. Under that is a Cancel button. Under that is the Debugger with sections that mirror the status indicators (Server, Domain, Kitten, etc.), each with links to set the state of the indicator (Not started, In progress, Not OK, OK). Finally, there’s a Detail messages section with a link to “Send mock detail message” The dialogue displays on top of the screen described in the other screenshot on this post, with a semi-transparent grey background.

So, hands up who else does this: adding custom debuggers to your interfaces for testing them out?
It’s a little habit I picked up decades ago during the Flash days and it’s as useful now. (Found and fixed at least two bugs after implementing this simple one today.)
