Anybody else having problems seeing the debugger screen when you run Nodemon?

I ended up having to use only "node-debug src/app.js" each time to follow the video to see the debugging page. For some reason, when I try to run "Nodemon --debug src /app.js", I can see that Nodemon is running in one command line and is Node-inspector in a separate command line but can't see the debugging page Huston is working on. It ususally pops up when I do "node-debug src/app.js" , but not when I run nodemon --debug src/app.js. If it is running, where is the page? Is it hidden somewhere locally on my computer and I am just not seeing it?

I'm having similar problems, completely unable to get this debugging working at the moment. I did try node --inspect --debug-brk src/app.js and this at least gets the debugger up and running, but I'm still missing something for sure. Don't even have access to the variables.
