I just tried this out and the web interface it provides is awful. You're better off opening the .js and .coffee files in vi and finding things manually. The page is twice the width of my browser as I'm looking at it now.

I think you should fork it and rewrite the CSS for the dashboard. The markup for the code snippets is just <pre> elements. You could set the white-space to 'pre-line' for those elements to take care of the width issue.
I just tried setting white-space to "pre-wrap" and it improves the interface greatly. It still needs a lot of work though to make it pleasant to use.
The tool obviously works best with a fairly wide browser window, but patches are more than welcome to improve the CSS, which is obviously kind of primitive. For simple stuff, filing an issue would be great--no need for a full-blown pull request.
