Console welcome email

Thanks for subscribing to Console Every Thursday we'll send you the most interesting developer tools and beta releases. We keep track of everything - devtools, devops, cloud, and APIs - so you don’t have to. ✦ One to check out Arcjet. Arcjet is the runtime security platform that ships with your code. Enforce budgets, stop prompt injection, detect bots, and protect personal information with Arcjet's AI security building blocks. ✦ Sponsored ＋ Most popular tools of 2025 At the end of every year, we send a rundown of the most popular tools ranked based on a ratio of the number of clicks to recipients. These are the tools that Console subscribers found the most interesting in 2025. #10: Stagehand AI-assisted browser automation. What we like: Makes it easy to build Playwright-compatible browser automations in code. Using AI makes instructions more robust to UI changes. You can provide specific Playwright commands, but use Stagehand as a fallback if they fail. Prompts to extract data can be used to provide useful output. What we don't like: Recommends using Node.js vs newer runtimes like Bun and Deno. Originally featured: 2025-05-01. #9: Overtype Textarea Markdown editor. What we like: It’s just a textarea - Markdown is rendered on top (textarea over a preview div). This means all native textarea features work as normal e.g. undo, selection, mobile keyboard. Provides WYSYWIG with an optional toolbar. Low-overhead: 45KB total. What we don't like: No React component. Originally featured: 2025-08-21. #8: Yaak Desktop API client. What we like: GUI for interacting with any type of API (REST, HTTP, GraphQL, gRPC, WebSocket, SSE). Supports auth (basic, bearer, OAuth, etc). Import from common tools (OpenAPI, Postman, curl, etc). Themeable and extensible with Node.js. Supports environments and variables. Cross platform. Free for personal use. Open source. What we don't like: Not fully native, but it’s not Electron (built in Rust with Tauri). Originally featured: 2025-03-06. #7: Tilt Dev environment as code. What we like: Fast rebuilds and live updates, even for compiled languages and changed deps. Can run containers independently or through existing k8s configs. Works with Helm, podman, local processes. Tiltfile controls the environment config written in a Python-like language. Local web UI with custom buttons e.g. seed database. What we don't like: No project announcements since it was acquired by Docker in 2022, but there are still regular releases. Stable, but with regular fixes? Not a bad place to be.. Originally featured: 2025-05-08. #6: Shunpo Make directory navigation easier. What we like: Provides minimal keyboard shortcuts for quickly navigating directories in the terminal. Supports bookmarks to quickly go to specific directories. Installed as a simple bash script. What we don't like: Nothing - super focused on its purpose. Originally featured: 2025-02-06. #5: FossFLOW Isometric diagramming. What we like: PWA for creating isometric diagrams. Supports custom icons. Auto-saves locally to your browser. Exportable to a JSON file or server storage when running inside a Docker container. What we don't like: Exporting embeds icons as base64 encoded files inside JSON, which can create large files. Originally featured: 2025-08-21. #04: Goose Open source AI coding agent. What we like: Available as a desktop app and CLI. Runs locally with customizable LLM providers (optimized for Claude and GPT-4o), including Ollama for fully local execution. Extensions for computer control, memory, Google Drive, Git, Figma. Integrates with Model Context Protocol. What we don't like: CLI-only on Windows. Originally featured: 2025-02-06. #03: D2 Declarative diagrams. What we like: Full language designed for diagramming. Includes themes and animations. Use custom fonts and icons. Supports embedding code with syntax highlighting and Markdown for adding explanations. Has web editor and VS Code extension. CLI to generate th
