Had a quick play around with this. It's not so easy because of the fact it uses an iFrame so it can't be easily integrated like the redux devtool component. You could do it with a react-devtool-container-app.html file which has an iframe pointing at hot-dev-app.html.
I'm not very fond of this approach though because my app is multi-window and it starts to get unwieldy very quickly if you want to have the devtools available on multiple windows.
Might give this another try in the future but I'm going to leave it for now.

I might give this a shot.
