Not All Browser APIs Are "Web" APIs

There's JS APIs in your browser that are little more than facades for cloud services. You might be sending your users' data to them.

Control all browsers on any device from inside Polypane. Synchronised interactions, Inspect and Edit styles, get console output.

All without a single line of configuration.

"Public portals has proven to be a powerful tool which actually got me excited about remote debugging, which is otherwise the worst kind of debugging"

Absolutely *no one* likes debugging the weird bug that only happens on that one device you don't own. Portal makes it easy. polypane.app/portal/

Coming soon: navigate the elements panel tree using your arrow keys.

The custom-built Polypane elements panel lets you inspect and edit Elements across all viewports in one go.

* rename it to ⚫ and remove the icon.
December 4, 2025 at 10:54 AM
Let me think about that! An option to hide it can be done. For now you can also rename the project to "⚫" and that will make it smaller and less noticeable.

Every time I tried to design a light header it didn't look good (and I'm a light mode user!) so that's maybe a longer term thing.

Tomorrow's the last day!
After 7 years of selling courses, I'm finally doing a Black Friday sale.

I'd held off for from doing sales in general for all this time, but had some smart people get me on board with it, so I figured if I'm going to do it, I'll go big:

40% off + Flexbox Simplified for free.
