Unity HTTP Debugger

We always had a similar, but smaller solution on any project that had client-server communication, as it makes debugging a lot easier. And altering responses opens up a new way of testing and reproducing bugs. Of course there are standalone apps likes Charles for this, but a tailored editor tool is more convenient in my opinion.

NullTale/SoCreator: Create ScriptableObject by type from Unity Editor.

Can come in quite handy when you have a lot of noscriptable objects in the project. Which can be pretty common given that configs are better to be stored in SO since it doesn't generate garbage when being loaded. And SO loading is faster as it's a memcpy call under the hood.

Info about SO is taken from a great talk at Unite
