I like the idea. Here's how I envision it:

Show me all the existing CSS (with syntax-highlighting) in an editor in a sidebar. Let me modify that or add to it, then share the result. Also, highlight new or modified code somehow. Basically, a save-able, shareable, Firebug editor with diffs.

You can use this Chrome Extension called Stylebot: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/oiaejidbmkiecgbjei...

Or you can browse themes on http://stylebot.me/.

I like the simplicity though. No need to make it busy and bloated. Most browsers already have a Firebug or something on them already (or you can add them yourself). No reason to have two.

I agree that there isn't a need to reinvent the wheel, but using it I find myself wanting some firebug-esq capabilities. I ended up just firing up inspector in Chrome, but there may be an opportunity here.

Or integrating something like that could ruin the simplicity of the app.

Still, I like this a ton.

He could add is as an advanced feature of sorts - one that isn't immediately visible to the average user.

Am definitely thinking about it! Got a pretty good backlog of feature ideas from the feedback here!
