Reviews of the most interesting devtools and latest beta releases.
Here's the latest newsletter sent on 2025-08-07.
Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.
Animated chart components.
Built on top of recharts and shadcn so the chart components are ready to use. Component code is installed into your codebase so you have full control. Includes animations and interactivity e.g. hover legends.
No documentation - you’ll have to read the code.
Self-hosted code search.
Indexes your codebase and allows you to search and ask questions about it. Self-hosted and choose your own backing language model. Easily select search scoping and mention specific files for focus. Can search through branches. Can connect to cloud repos e.g. GitHub as well as local.
Self-hosting deployment instructions are for a single container running on Docker rather than a production-grade HA environment.
Here's the interesting beta and early access releases we featured this week.
Next-gen testing framework.
Terminal AI coding agent.
Background jobs for Node.
Strictly typed RegExp.
Python language.
