* Add link to boilerplate Glitch file The boilerplate link is hard to see in the previous "introduction" page. I was using the old Glitch project link, and was confused. When I googled for a solution, it was clear than others had also been quite confused. I believe this additional instruction will help many people. * Direct people back to introduction page Co-Authored-By: Oliver Eyton-Williams <ojeytonwilliams@gmail.com> * Remove unnecessary indentation Co-Authored-By: Oliver Eyton-Williams <ojeytonwilliams@gmail.com> * Remove spaces on empty line Co-Authored-By: Randell Dawson <5313213+RandellDawson@users.noreply.github.com> * Remove spaces on empty line Co-Authored-By: Randell Dawson <5313213+RandellDawson@users.noreply.github.com> * Add empty line to fix markdown link Markdown link needs a blank line to render correctly * fix: add extra line to prevent linting error * fix/remove-bullet-points Co-authored-by: Randell Dawson <rdawson@onepathtech.com> Co-authored-by: Tom <tmondloch01@gmail.com>

## Description
|
||
<section id='description'>
|
||
During the development process, it is important to be able to check what’s going on in your code. Node is just a JavaScript environment. Like client side JavaScript, you can use the console to display useful debug information. On your local machine, you would see the console output in a terminal. On Glitch you can open the logs in the lower part of the screen. You can toggle the log panel with the button ‘Logs’ (top-left, under the app name).
|
||
We recommend to keep the log panel open while working at these challenges. By reading the logs, you can be aware of the nature of errors that may occur.
