13,335 PointsIf Node Inspector has a failing build, should we install it?
Hi there,
I see that the Travis report on the current build status of Node Inspector is failing. I've been told to install global dependencies sparingly, and this one doesn't seem to be in good shape. Could anyone confirm that node-inspector is still a maintained tool?
Thank you!
