Debugging Should Feel Simple

We built Trailway because we were tired of how much time we all waste inside DevTools.

You know the dance. Open console, inspect element, tweak some text, reload, repeat. Every bug or layout tweak takes five steps when it should take one. And for most product teams, half those steps have nothing to do with actually understanding the problem.

Trailway is my attempt to make that whole process effortless.

It’s a Chrome extension that lets you capture screenshots, edit text, block network requests, test inputs, and toggle light or dark modes all without touching DevTools.

It’s for when you just want to see how something behaves, not dig for your tools.

The idea

What if the fastest way to debug wasn’t to get deeper into code, but to bring the surface closer to you?

Trailway overlays the same powers you’d find in DevTools, but in a visual, one-click layer. You can:

• Edit & Test Instantly. Change copy, run input tests, toggle states live.

• Capture What Matters. Screenshot broken states and annotate them on the spot.

• Block & Simulate. Test your app under failure or offline conditions in seconds.

It’s DevTools reimagined for speed and clarity and built for product, design, and engineering teams who want to move faster without the noise.

Where it’s headed

Trailway is still early. But I think debugging should feel creative, not mechanical. More like exploring than fixing.

If that resonates, I’d love for you to try it and tell me what you think.
