Description

FIrst of all, thanks for this awesome piece of software! I'm developing a browser and this seems very helpful for debugging issues.

It'd be nice if code in responses was syntax-highlighted, e.g. using the excellent pygments library. This would probably make it much easier to read, at least for me. Also, colors are just nice! 😉
