About weinre
weinre is WEb INspector REmote. Pronounced like the word "winery". Or maybe like the word "weiner". weinre is a debugger for web pages, like FireBug (for Firefox) and web inspector (for WebKit-based browsers), except it's designed to work remotely, and in particular, to allow you to debug web pages on a mobile device such as a phone. weinre was built in an age when there were no remote debuggers available for mobile devices. Since then, some platforms are starting to provide remote debugger capabilities, as part of their platform toolset. weinre reuses the user interface code from the web inspector project at WebKit, so if you've used Safari's web inspector or Chrome's Developer Tools, weinre will be very familiar. In normal usage, you will be running the client application in a browser on your desktop/laptop, and running a target web page on your mobile device. weinre does not make use of any 'native' code in the browser, it's all plain old boring JavaScript.

GNU DDD
GNU DDD is a graphical front-end for command-line debuggers such as GDB, DBX, WDB, Ladebug, JDB, XDB, the Perl debugger, the bash debugger bashdb, the GNU Make debugger remake or the Python debugger pydb. Besides usual front-end features such as viewing source texts. DDD has become famous through its interactive graphical data display, where data structures are displayed as graphs.
