Overview

What is Locus?

Locus starts a REPL at runtime that has full access to all variables, making it easier to debug and interact with your application's state during execution. It is particularly useful for developers who need dynamic insights into their code while running.

Key differentiator

Locus stands out as a lightweight, open-source tool for JavaScript developers looking to enhance their debugging experience by providing direct access to the application's state during runtime.
