I got tired of dd() and built a visual PHP debugger that doesn't need Xdebug

Hey everyone. I've been a PHP dev for years and like most of us, I've been living between dd() , var_dump() , and that twice-a-year attempt to configure Xdebug that works for 3 days until Docker rebuilds and breaks everything. After spending way too many hours debugging with echo where I shouldn't, I decided to build DDLess — a desktop app that does visual debugging for any PHP project without installing an extension, without IDE plugins, without Composer, and without changing a single line of code.
