Most of you know me for my consistency, a golden arrow in my blog series. I've written 1000 articles in 1008 days! Almost an article a day, and my honeymoon was the only holiday I ever took. I'm super proud of this achievement; it has been a fantasti...

It's not the first time I'll be talking about community. I think it's an essential aspect of any successful tool. This shows in my previous explorations of Astro, Medusa, and now Vendure as well. All these products thrive in a super open, welcoming, ...

The cool part about Vendure is how easy it is to set up and how abstract each layer is. Basically, we get the following elements: External database Server Worker Admin UI Frontend While this is amazing, it also brings a bit of complexity when it co...

The previous article looked at customizing Vendure on a data and process level. In this article, we'll look at customizing emails, as they are often a big part of a webshop system. We'll be looking at two different layers of customization for customi...

Even though Vendure is a pretty significant project out of the box, in some cases, we might want to go in and modify some elements to work to our specific use case. In this article, I'll take a high-level look at some elements we can customize within...

Did you know it's possible to see console.logs on Chrome for iOS?
I was astonished at first, but it can be really helpful to debug console.logs you placed directly from the device.
Of course, you already can debug iOS on Safari, but Safari has its own rendering and might behave differently, so the Chrome team decided to build in a logger for all tabs even!
How it works:

To enable this feature, open Chrome and type the following URL.
chrome://inspect
This will open up a tab looking like this. You can then tap the "start logging" button.

Note: The site is not responsive. That's why it looks so tiny.
It's important not to remove this tab, so open a new tab with the website you want to log.
In my example, I use a Codepen. That's always just retuning one console.log.
The results will come in like this:

And there you go, a super simple but effective way to console.log on your iOS device.
