Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Makes it easy to run multiple processes as defined in your Procfile. Uses tmux behind the scenes so you can connect to any of the processes. Direct control of processes to restart specific ones without interrupting the others. Process output is properly captured so it doesn’t break colors.

Tradeoffs
