Show HN: A Curated Directory of Developer Tools Built in a Weekend

1 venelinkochev 0 7/7/2025, 1:48:24 PM devtool.io ↗

I built devtool.io over a weekend to solve a recurring pain point: discovering and keeping track of high-quality developer tools. I've lost count of how many times I've bookmarked a great CLI, API tester, or AI tool—only to forget where I saw it.

DevTool.io is a minimal, searchable directory where developers can find and compare tools by category (CI/CD, Frontend, AI/ML, Databases, etc.), see what's trending, and browse curated picks. Each tool includes metadata like website, GitHub, category, and tags (open-source, freemium, etc.).

Feedback, ideas, or tool suggestions are all welcome!
