Question: Is this intended to replace debugbar?

Answer: no

@barryvdh If you do have a minute over, could you explain the differences between the packages? Maybe an idea to have a section about it in the readme?

[barryvdh]

Yeah I should probably do that. It's mainly lighter than Debugbar, with regard of load time and amount of external libraries (jquery etc). Telescope Toolbar uses the data gathered by Telescope itself.

If I have Telescope installed, does that mean I cannot use laravel debug bar and must use this? Is telescope toolbar better than debugbar if i have telescope installed?

[barryvdh]

No you can use it. But using Telescope and Debugbar will just have a bit more overhead.

[ziming]

Which give me more features overall?

Telescope + Debugbar

or

Telescope + Telescope toolbar?

[barryvdh]

Telescope Toolbar is just a front-end for the Telescope data. It does not add any extra features to Telescope itself. Debugbar is just a bit different, it's easier to add custom collectors (model count, livewire etc).

@ziming A great post written by @barryvdh comparing each other which should resolve any questions you have.
