Interesting tools

Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.

Files SDK

Unified SDK for object and blob stores.

What we like

Consistent API for whichever backing storage you use: S3, R2, Dropbox, Supabase etc. Supports core operations e.g. upload, copy, move, list. Every method is also a command with the built-in CLI. Hooks for onAction, onRetry, onError.

What we don't like

JS / TS-only.

Taphouse

Native macOS Homebrew GUI.

What we like

Visual package browse and search. Manage services that ship with packages e.g. start/stop Redis, Postgres, etc. Easy to install and remove packages with a global view of everything installed. Lists disk usage and provides security audit alerts.

What we don't like

Free version provides most of the functionality, but paid upgrade required for some features e.g. package health dashboard. macOS only.
