 ## Console
 
-When running any terminal application, you can no longer use `print` when debugging (or log to the console). This is because anything you write to standard output would typically overwrite application content, which generally makes an unreadable mess. Fortunately Textual supplies a debug console of it's own which has some super helpful features.

+To use the console, open up 2 terminal emulators. In the first one, run the following:
 
 ```bash
 textual console
 ```
 
+This should look something like the following:
+
+```{.textual title="textual console" path="docs/examples/getting_started/console.py", press="_,_"}
+```
+
 In the other console, run your application using `textual run` and the `--dev` switch:
 
 ```bash
 textual run my_app.py --dev
 ```
 
-You should notice that the console will display information regarding the running application, such as events which are sent.
-
 Anything you `print` from your application will be displayed in the console window. You can also call the `log()` method on App and Widget objects for advanced formatting. Try it with `self.log(self.tree)`.

-We're going to build a stopwatch app. This app will display the elapsed time since the user hit a "Start" button. The user will be able to stop, resume, and reset each stopwatch in addition to adding or removing them.
+We're going to build a stopwatch application. It should show a list of stopwatches with a time display the user can start, stop, and reset. We also want the user to be able to add and remove stopwatches as required.
 
 This will be a simple yet **fully featured** app — you could distribute this app if you wanted to!
