Cool! I wrote something on the same spirit but for Clojure, called FlowStorm http://www.flow-storm.org/

For instrumentation, instead of an instrumenting agent it uses a fork of the official Clojure compiler (in Clojure you can easily swap compilers at dev) that adds extra bytecode. What is interesting about recording Clojure programs execution is that most values are immutable, so you can snapshot them by just retaining the pointers.

Edit: Since the OP demo is about exploring a web app for people interested in this topics I'm leaving a demo of FlowStorm debugging a web app also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8AFpZkAwPo

This is beautiful! great job! - What was the reason you choose javafx? After you choose fx, did you look at cljfx?

[jpmonettas]

Thanks! I started with cljfx and then moved to pure javafx, first because it wasn't straight forward for me to understand the performance overhead of cljfx under different scenarios (when using subscriptions and contexts), and second because I want to drag as few dependencies as possible so they don't conflict with debuggee one's.

Nice!

Do you like use data structure metadata for tracking values?

Not sure I follow, can expand on that? I gave a presentation on it recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuSpMvVU7j4 which goes over demos and implementation details if you are interested in those topics.
