ROS node that runs a web server on your robot. Run the node, point your web browser at http://your-robot-ip:8888/ and you get nice visualizations.
Mobile friendly. Designed so you can walk around next to your robot with a phone while viewing ROS topics.
Light weight. Doesn't depending on much. Consumes extremely little resources when it's not actually being used.
