One thing that you might have noticed while we were using the debugging in the web browser before is that we only had access to the JavaScript code (as opposed to the TypeScript code when debugging with VS Code directly). In our case, with TodoIt, it is okay because the program is very simple, and so it remains intuitive. But in larger applications, this will simply not be usable.
