Ability to use without a target #45

Open hstonge opened 8 years ago

hstonge commented 8 years ago

It would be great if this app could be launched without requiring a target, so one could use certain features like the heap snapshot file analysis/comparison, which doesn't really require a target in the first place.

auchenberg commented 8 years ago

That's a great idea! Simply start the app with DevTools loaded?

hstonge commented 8 years ago

I could be that way. Or perhaps have a small text below the "splash" image with a link/button to open the DevTools directly (possibly with a checkbox suggesting "Always open the DevTools at launch").

auchenberg commented 8 years ago

Yeah, that could work. I'm currently swarmed with work, so if you have 10mins to add the button, it could be much appreciated, otherwise I'll have a look in the new year.

Oh don't worry, it's only a suggestion, nothing urgent ;)
