App Idea: Wayland debugging tool #15

@bbb651

Description

@bbb651

There's https://github.com/wmww/wayland-debug which relays on parsing logging from libwayland to stderr when it detects WAYLAND_DEBUG=1, it works pretty well but it can easily break if the application is not using libwayland, doesn't pass the environment variable, intentionally disables this or logs other stuff to stderr which conflicts with it.

Some ideas:

  • Better logging like
  • Capturing to PCAP or HAR to support existing tools
  • Capturing to a custom format to support replay/time travel - incredibly hard but theoretically possible?
