summary of first session - dormouseroared/dom-inspector-plus GitHub Wiki

🗓️ Session Summary — 28 June 2025 Today marked the birth of DOM Inspector Plus — a feature-rich, editable overlay for exploring DOM elements in the browser. Together, we architected its design, built and tested core functionality, launched it on GitHub, and made the v0.1.0 release official. 🚀

✅ What We Accomplished

• Designed & built the full inspector.js:

• Smart per-tag property inspection

• Editable and persistent settings via localStorage

• MDN-integrated property links

• Styled output with flex layout and color-coded values

• Copy-to-clipboard support

• Presets for form/media/layout

• Reset-to-default button

• Created the GitHub repository:

• Committed project foundations:

• – testbed

• – MIT

• – roadmap

• Published Release v0.1.0:

• Drafted professional release notes

• Tagged the release via GitHub

• Declared the project officially launched

• Launched the GitHub Wiki:

• Outlined a welcome page with project overview, feature tour, and contributor notes

🧠 Reflections & Next Steps

• We discussed long-term maintainability, future features (e.g. style inspection, export formats, accessibility), and GitHub Pages hosting.

• Next steps could include:

• Adding screenshots or demo GIFs

• Opening issues based on TODO.md

• Publishing a live demo with GitHub Pages

• Exploring packaging as a browser extension
