Rack-webconsole: a Ruby/Rails console inside your browser

On the CSRF concern, which is totally valid, I've pushed a patch. From version 0.0.5 it uses a token to prevent this kind of attacks.<p><a href="https://github.com/codegram/rack-webconsole/commit/d5060d0e8f69a335fd6c501dfd2d6562ab342a4f" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/codegram/rack-webconsole/commit/d5060d0e8...</a>

This is a very bad idea.

Nice way to introduce Rack. Much better than the usual hello world.<p>I wouldn't use it for obvious reasons, but I like the demo.

Cool! Firebug for the frontend, rack-webconsole for the backend.

Reading the headline, I was hoping this was a ruby-debug console in the localhost browser for the current request. Perhaps that can be shoehorned into rack-webconsole?

I think this is a pretty cool tool, for both development/staging and also for production in a very restricted way. Every site has some kind of admin panel. I see this like a phpMyAdmin on asteroids for rack apps.<p>Definitely interesting.

It's sweet to see internet browsers opening up for development within themselves. We can surely do this securely with some amount of effort. I'd love to see a world without the need for Eclipse / Aptana.

This seems like a boon for anyone trying to develop and debug issues on Heroku
