Welcome to Console

Discover the best tools and beta releases for developers.

Console aims to become the place developers go to find the best tools. Starting as a weekly newsletter, each week we will pick out the most interesting tools and new releases. We keep track of everything - dev tools, devops, cloud, and APIs - so you don’t have to.

Our recommendations are made through years of experience and research, bringing a deep practical understanding of the needs of experienced developers. We pride ourselves on being transparent in our editorial approach. It’s our job to do the filtering, so you can stay up-to-date with the tools that matter, and focus on what you do best. Building.

Console Co-founders David Mytton & Max Jennings.

David Mytton is Co-founder & CEO of Console. In 2009, he founded and was CEO of Server Density, a SaaS cloud monitoring startup acquired in 2018 by edge compute and cyber security company, StackPath. He is also researching sustainable computing in the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford, and has been a developer for 15+ years.

Max has 20+ years tech experience building online businesses. Previous start-ups he co-founded have been acquired by Retailmenot Inc, Expedia and GCAP Media. Most recently he co-founded Hoop, an app that helps UK families discover things to do with their kids. It was chosen by Apple as App of the Year twice and installed by over 1.5 million families.

Selection Criteria

Visit the selection criteria page to read how to choose what appears in the Console newsletter each week.

Having launched in early-2021, over time our goal is to build a community of experienced developers. This will include reviews of the best developer tools, profiles of interesting companies, interviews with people building devtools, and helping developers find the best places to work.

Console generates revenue by partnering with vendors to connect with our audience, such as by syncing reviews with new releases or offering exclusives such as access to beta programs. We may be paid for these.

Our editorial process is independent from our vendor partnerships. All partners must first fit our selection criteria before we consider working with them. The same applies to the startups we invest in. In both cases, reviews of products where we have a commercial or investment relationship are marked as sponsored in the newsletter and on the website.

To learn more about Console, check out the Console blog where you can follow our progress. To start, we recommend reading our thoughts on the ‘Age of the Developer’. We aim to be open and transparent so everyone can see what we're building so we publish monthly status updates about our progress.
