Here's the latest newsletter sent on 2026-05-21.
Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.
Agentic IDE.
Integrates a VS Code-style editor with a CLI and agent management console. Easily track multiple agent sessions and subagents. Create scheduled tasks e.g. regular dependency updates. Sync between different Gemini / Antigravity clients e.g. chat to CLI. Supports skills, MCPs, hooks.
No custom themes. Workspace accounts can’t upgrade usage.
Data client for React.
Uses async React to enable optimistic UI updates and instant feedback. Provides typed APIs to connect to the data backend over fetch, tRPC, or GraphQL. Also includes adapters for Prisma and Drizzle. Introduces an Actions concept for mutations, but you can use more traditional imperative calls.
Requires React 19 because this is a modern library.
