Reviews of the most interesting devtools and latest beta releases.
Here's the latest newsletter sent on 2026-03-12.
Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.
Structural code editor.
Acts on the AST so code manipulations happen within the true language syntax e.g. selecting the whole control statement. This enables AST native editing, selection, navigation, find & replace. Has a built in LSP and file explorer. Themes and syntax highlighting powered by Tree-sitter.
Might take some getting used to - it has a VS Code extension if you prefer a GUI.
macOS native AI sandboxing.
Denies access outside of your project directory using macOS native, kernel-level sandboxes. Has safe defaults for access to things like core system tools, network access, Git, etc. Security sensitive actions require opt-in e.g. clipboard, docker, shell access.
macOS only.
Here's the interesting beta and early access releases we featured this week.
Cross-platform desktop framework.
A computer you can curl.
Agentic dev environment.
Google CLI for Gmail, Cal, Docs, etc.
Declarative UI library.
