Good Morning Developers! 

Have you ever wondered of an alternative to ‘console.log’? We built DEVision.js as an improved console.log replacement which allows you to decide, at runtime, what will be logged based both on priority level and user-defined scope with the ability to track/snapshot variable values and test them.It’s also designed to display data via it’s “slim” HTML/CSS viewer that is browser and platform independent. Here are the links to our npm package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/devision.js) and our Github Repo (http://bit.ly/DEVisionJS).

Readme is quite promising and does a good job documenting the API. But I'm left slightly confused.. so it's not just a logging library but also generates tape tests? That's super interesting, but how does that work in practice? I think an article or even better a video that showcases workflows would be great!

Thanks for the feedback @jaleksic! We'll definitely consider your thoughtful suggestion. For the test generating aspect, you’re able to write in-file test scripts by using our method ___.test() as you build the code to be tested. When you're done building and want to export all the __.test()'s you made into their own test files, all you have to do is run the script and it generates Tape-formatted test files for you.
