Introducing ConsolePad — The missing Notepad in Chrome DevTools
I’m excited to introduce ConsolePad — a Chrome DevTools extension that brings a Notepad-like experience to the Console panel. It’s a simple tool that allows you to take notes, write code snippets, and save them right in the DevTools for easier access.
Essentially, I would always find myself opening a new tab or a text editor to write down some notes or code snippets while debugging or working on a project. But with ConsolePad, I can now do that directly in the DevTools without switching between tabs or windows. It’s like your own little scratchpad sitting silently out of your way until you need it!
Once installed, the extension adds a new tab called ConsolePad in the DevTools. You can start typing your notes or code snippets in the Pad and it will be saved in real-time as you type. The notes are saved in the browser’s localStorage, so you can access them anytime you open the DevTools on any page.
It’s also open-source.
