## What it is
A ~1.5K minimalistic JavaScript library that instruments functions in the browser to aid debugging. It groups console.log output by function, showing stack traces, passed arguments, and execution time via a simple .deb() call.

## Use cases
- debug javascript functions in the browser console
- see function arguments and stack traces when debugging
- measure function execution time in the browser
- group console logs by function context
- inject a lightweight debugger into any page via chrome extension

## When to choose
- you want a tiny, zero-config browser debugging aid without devtools breakpoints
- you need quick visibility into function calls, arguments, and timing in legacy code

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured debugger, profiler, or modern devtools integration
- you need actively maintained tooling - the last release was in 2019
- you are debugging in Node.js or non-browser environments

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: debugging, console-logging, browser-debugger, chrome-extension, tiny-library
