TL;DR

AI summary of the plugin's readme

This plugin is for WordPress developers who need to debug PHP variables while building sites, especially when using code snippet plugins or page builders where tools like Xdebug or Ray are impractical. It provides a central wp-admin dashboard to inspect $variable values formatted via var_dump(), var_export(), and print_r() without exposing anything to site visitors.
