Looks like a web version of Erlangs "observer" app, offhand.

It's not, observer is still different.

AppSignal's monitoring shows useful metrics but does not allow examining the supervisor tree and other things possible with Observer and other OTP tooling. In some sense, it's not a live debugging tool but a monitoring dashboard.

There's a web based observer, it's called wobserver https://github.com/shinyscorpion/wobserver

Yes, but it's woefully out of date.

Fun fact -- Ian (maintainer) is/was a backend dev at Square Enix.

The guy behind the Cowboy web server was working on one a while back and it looked super cool, but I don't know what became of it.
