Reviews of the most interesting devtools and latest beta releases.
Here's the latest newsletter sent on 2026-09-17.
Each week we review 2—3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week.
CLI for Git worktree management.
Focuses on 3 core commands to make Git Worktrees feel like branches. Easy to list all worktrees with statuses. Includes hooks and other workflow automations for pull requests, merging, shared build caches.
Worktrees themselves are complex and may be more easily “solved” by switching to completely isolated environments e.g. VMs or cloud environments.
Thread based development & reviews.
UI is well thought out and fast, like the Zed editor it’s linked too. You can bring your own AI models. In-line terminal and commenting UX works well. Keeps the full chat thread alongside changes. “Commits” happen on every edit, but still has Git compatibility.
Still in early beta - worth playing with to see a unique approach, but that might also be a problem. It’s very different.
Here's the interesting beta and early access releases we featured this week.
Declarative charts from SQL.
PDF components for React.
Sharded Postgres.
Rust bindings for Nvidia GPUs.
Discussions with the people behind the most interesting devtools.
