Open-source startups in Developer tools
Editors, coding agents, CI/CD, API clients and terminals: software for the people who write software. 87 open-source startups in this directory are filed under Developer tools. 54 pushed code within 30 days of the snapshot of 2026-09-22, 7 have been quiet for 31โ120 days, 26 have not pushed in over 120 days. The category is chosen by Jev, TypeSafeโs classifier, reading only the repositoryโs own name, description and homepage โ one category per project, so something that spans two appears under whichever the classifier judged closest.
54 of 87 pushed within 30 days of the snapshot of 2026-09-22. How we measure it โ
The list
All 87, most-starred first.
The last column is the most recent push GitHub reported to us on 2026-09-22. It counts a push to any branch, by a person or a bot โ it is not a claim that anyone is maintaining the project, and a quiet repository may be a finished one. The โbuilt forโ column and the โalternative toโ chips are Jevโs answers about the same repository description, published with the rest of them.
