Inspecting Web Pages With iPadOS
by
When I started making my iPad my main computer one big hurdle was inspecting the source code on web pages. Yes iCab had an option, but it was janky and barely worked. Then I looked at WebTools, which was leaps and bounds better but still wasn’t great. Today I’m going to talk a bit about…
