hyperConsole— Instantly load popular JS libraries into devTools and experiment.

I felt that it was too time consuming to experiment with different libraries.

So I made a tool that lets you load any library (that's on cdnjs) into your browser, so you can use your console to mess around with it.

It takes seconds. Check it out

Here it is at work:

Good job Arnav! This is very impressive. As @rhymes said, it would be fantastic as a Chrome Extension. What would be cool is if you provided a command line interface in the console to load these libraries.

For instance, the console should expose a reference to hyper console through the chrome extension and I should be able to do something like:

$hc.load('jquery', 2.1)

This way, I can introduce any version of a library on any web page.

This is a quick and dirty example, but hopefully, you get the picture.

Super cool tool! Do you think it can become a browser extension or something like that?
