Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked screencast and the project's existing tree/graph feature, then clarify the tool's intended scope and whether props inspection belongs as a separate feature. Done means an agreed proposal or implementation plan exists before preparing the proper pull request.

Description

Hi, I don't know what's the status of this project. Is there some roadmap / future?

I don't fully understand the intention / ambition of this tool so in the meantime I've been "playing" around to get to display the props from the components.

Here is a video of how it looks like for now: Screencast on youtube
Quite useful for a quick inspection instead of looking for it in the chrome inspector tabs.

I could make a proper PR after discussing this a bit if you are interested. I was not sure about the "tree / graph" feature so I just created a new thing.
