npm install debug-live
```

### Usage

```javascript
//require debug-live
var debugLive = require("debug-live");

//paste in this snippet of code
//(the second parameter is the configurable port Debug Live should run on)
debugLive(function (exprToEval) {
  return eval(exprToEval);
},1337);

//let your app do what it needs to do
var counter = 0;

setInterval(function() {
  counter++;
},100);

```

Start your app, telnet to Debug Live, and look at that all those variables!
