RFC: Safari devtool

[ersinakinci]

Summary

Is there any chance that we could port the Chrome devtool to Safari?

I know, I know, it's a long-shot request. My reasons are:

• I run my dev environment on low-end Mac hardware, Chrome makes everything unresponsive and decreases my productivity. urql's devtool is the only reason that I run Chrome.
• It would be useful for devs who test on Safari.

Proposed Solution

Same good ol' devtool, just on Safari. Perhaps runs as a standalone app? Others have taken this approach, although it would be awesome to have a first-class integration with Safari (if at all possible, given Safari's restrictive plugins API).

Requirements

I'm not sure!

Thanks for the suggestion @earksiinni - this is a nice idea!

Looks like Apple are providing some tools to port browser extensions to safari in the next major release of macOS (Big Sur).

If anyone wants to try this out, it should be a matter of installing the Xcode beta and running the command linked above against the devtools build output.

Wow! This is cool, I had no idea. I wonder how well the tool actually works.

This week is busy for me, but I can try this maybe toward the end of the week or next week?

@earksiinni sounds great! Keep us posted!
