the repo is here btw. i appreciate that the dependency tree is appropriately minimal. also impressive how many comments are included in the source. Maybe they’re not counted towards the LOC?

console_error_panic_hook
A panic hook for wasm32-unknown-unknown that logs panics with console.error
I did some AI chatting/Googling and found two helpful approaches. One is console_log for use in Wasm builds, which displays log statements from your Rust code in your browser console. This helped some, but what I was really looking for was a stack trace. Enter console_error_panic_hook. It gave me the Rust stack trace immediately, which was CLUTCH. If you are doing your own Wasm build, stop reading this now and add this crate. I don’t even mind if you never finish reading this post. Ferris would want you to use this crate 🦀. Here’s how I added it to my Wasm interface.
