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. 56 pushed code in the last 30 days, 1 has been quiet for 31–120 days, 30 have not pushed in over 120 days or are archived. The category is chosen by Jev, TypeSafe’s classifier, reading only the repository’s own name, description and homepage — one category per project, so something that spans two appears under whichever the classifier judged closest.
Ship status
56 of 87 pushed in the last 30 days.
The list
All 87, most-starred first.
The last column is the most recent push to any branch, by a person or a bot — it is not a claim that anyone is maintaining the project, and a quiet repository may be a finished one. The “built for” column and the “alternative to” chips are Jev’s answers about the same repository description, published with the rest of them.
