Reviews of the most interesting devtools and latest beta releases.
Here's the latest newsletter sent on 2025-04-03.
Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.
Web framework for Python.
Features are optional packages so they develop separately. Includes auth, email sending, ORM, caching, background tasks, admin UI. Supports frontend with Tailwind, HTMX, file based routing. Local dev with one command, tests, and built in tunnelling for sharing previews. Open source & similar to Django.
Not 1.0 yet, but most features are fully developed - some missing docs and full testing.
Reactive in-memory database.
Just use it as a k/v store with commands similar to Redis or create query subscriptions to watch keys. Watching avoids continually polling the database so you can instantly get changes. Supports a range of commands like expiry, checking for existence, increment & decrement. Optimized for modern hardware. Open source.
Only the GET command supports watching, others are in development.
Here's the interesting beta and early access releases we featured this week.
Batteries-included VIM.
Offline sync for SQLite.
Interactive diagrams from Git repos.
UI blocks & components.
S3 explorer TUI.
Lightweight embedded VM manager.
