    phpconsole - a new tool for web developers▲6

    Hi HN, I want to share with you phpconsole - my dev tool that I started developing quite a while ago, got to the point where it was usable and started testing and implementing it in my daily workflow. In the last 10 months me and some of my coworkers used it over 17k times in total, which gives me an indication that it may be useful for many more people. Phpconsole is aimed at PHP/JS devs, but I believe that porting the client code to other languages would be fairly easy. All feedback is welcome and if you're interested, leave your email on the page - you'll get an invitation to a beta…
