I picked up a lot of great tips at BarCamp Chicago, and I’m trying to pour through them in a decently methodical way, unlike my bookmarking problems. Therefore, I’ll be recapping interesting bits on several upcoming posts.

The first one, which has become immediately pertinent, is Drosera. I wrote about using the web-browser as a development environment before, but the tools for working in Safari were not nearly as nice as those in Firefox. Drosera looks really nice, has the ability to pause and debug. When attached, however, it makes Webkit run rather slow, which is too bad. Firebug leaves Firefox running pretty much unchanged.

Of course, it could also use a nice little icon.

Thanks to Walker Hamilton for the tip.
