Console’s review

· Reviewed by David Mytton

What we like

Enables code to live where it belongs - alongside code (in Markdown). Auto-syncs as you refactor, rename, move code around. Comments on PRs when docs break. Supports Mermaid syntax for diagramming. IDE extensions (VS Code, JetBrains) reveal docs in-context with code. Editor supports dark mode.

Tradeoffs

Need to edit the docs using their editor (or the Markdown directly). In-IDE doc authoring is on the roadmap.

Console is a free weekly newsletter with short reviews of developer tools, covering strengths and tradeoffs. This review reflects our assessment at publication. Read our selection criteria and learn about Console.
