Access this from a desktop app?

Hey! I'd like to log to the chrome console from a desktop app.

Is this possible using your api?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. This is a chrome extension so it has to be logged through the browser.

hey! would there be a way for the chrome extension to read data from a file perhaps, and display that data in the chrome console? that way, anything could write data to the chrome console by writing to a file... Kind of like serial input/ouput.

I see that it seems quite a few of the addons to your extension work with HTTP headers to transport the data.... i was just wondering if that data could come from some other source, outside the normal browser request/response flow..
