Hidden gems for developers

@bhavik_chavda thanks, Bhavik! this list certainly isn't exhaustive and focuses on products for developers not featured or that didn't rank in the Top 5. Directus looks awesome tho! have you checked this discussion: > What were the best developer tool launches you saw on PH? you should add your contribution there, too :)

@sentry_co +1 TextExpander! now I use Raycast to create and manage snippets tho. have you checked its Snippet Explorer for inspiration?

@fmerian Raycast has some useful gems. Once they add more AI integrations I'll start using it. For now the only use case for me personally would be expanding texts, which is covered by TextExpander.

@sentry_co interesting! out of curiosity -- what AI integrations would you like in Raycast?

@fmerian Prompt -> raycast -> terminal / vnc control. And then higher level agent scripting. Like a store for AI automation. I think their heuristic extension business is going the way of the dodo bird. They could easily take the AI era, but I don't think they will. I think it will be someone else. Rabbit.tech looks interesting if they dropped their focus on hardware and instead went all in on software. The cool thing tho is that this space is wide open to be captured.

@yogita_pg thanks, Yogita! on Vercel's v0, do you share @sentry_co's view? > it would be more useful if you could use it with references, i.e. point to a specific dribbble and ask it to use that as inspiration.

@sentry_co @fmerian Absolutely, @fmerian I appreciate the insight from @sentry_co While using an image from Dribbble as inspiration with Vercel's v0 creates cool design variants, But obtaining the actual code for the inspired design remains a limitation. The tool is excellent for exploration and ideation, yet for precise code replication, we might need additional steps. Thanks for the thoughtful discussion! 👍

> The tool is excellent for exploration and ideation, yet for precise code replication, we might need additional steps. @yogita_pg true! I have the same feeling about AI assistants tbh. great for inspiration, still needs rework. thank *you,* Yogita :)

@nimrodkramer thanks, Nimrod! daily.dev is an awesome tool for developers indeed. have you checked this discussion: > What were the best developer tool launches you saw on PH? you should add your contribution there, too :)

@sentry_co *great* idea!

@rihab_zd thanks, Rihad!
