summary
Compares Facebook Flipper with Android Studio by naming exact features: Electron desktop plus SDK over ADB, React JS UI, layout inspector that edits view attributes live, network table with interceptor API, shared preferences read/write and a long-standing database inspector; notes Flipper lacks advanced memory/tracing but resolves GitHub issues in ~1–2 days. Describes a custom ADB IDEA plugin port that can clear app data restart uninstall kill the app from the desktop, publishes to NPM/Flipper marketplace, and demonstrably relaunches the app.
