- AstrobuildsStatic output only. No island is hydrated, because the reading path ships zero bytes of JavaScript.Evidence: package.json, astro.config.mjs
- TypeScriptbuildsEvidence: package.json, tsconfig.json
- ZodbuildsThe schema is the editorial policy. A paper without retirement conditions fails the build rather than shipping quietly.Evidence: src/content/config.ts
- Node.jsbuildsEvidence: package.json engines, every script in scripts/
- GitbuildsEvidence: scripts/check-revised.mjs reads commit dates to verify every note's revised field
All 88
Alphabetical. Checked on 2026-09-04; anything that did not answer says so.
- A desktop tool for assembling code context and prompts by hand before sending them to a model.Treats context assembly as the actual work.
- A peer-to-peer runtime for factory floor software that keeps working when the network to the cloud does not.Built for the shop floor, where the uplink is optional.
- Budget limits for agent frameworks, so a loop that misbehaves stops at a number instead of at an invoice.A spend ceiling for something that can spend on its own.
- A job board narrowed to machine learning and AI engineering roles.A job board, filtered.
- Asset tracking over consumer tag hardware, with geofences and shareable live links.Logistics tracking on hardware built for lost keys.
- A macOS launcher with hotkeys, text expansion and scripted workflows.Keyboard-first, and scriptable to the point of being a runtime.
- One API in front of many accounting and finance integrations, so a vendor's quirks stay on their side of it.Sells you out of writing the twentieth connector.
- A marketplace and runtime for web scrapers, with the scheduling, proxies and storage already solved.Scraping as an app store.
- A binary repository for every package format at once, plus containers and model artifacts, with retention and promotion policy.One registry so you stop running six.
- Collects consumer reviews and syndicates them across retailer and brand sites.Distribution, not just collection.
- Hosted headless browsers for agents and scrapers, with stealth and authenticated sessions handled.Someone else's problem when the browser crashes.
- Feature flags for TypeScript, typed so a flag that does not exist fails at compile time.Flags the compiler knows about.
- Burnd the page returns 404Parsed local agent session logs to find where the money went. The repository returns 404.Gone: the repository is not there.
- Managed package and container hosting with provenance and access control across formats.A registry with an audit trail.
- Reads git history to understand a codebase before opening a single file, on the theory that the commits say more than the code.Starts with the history, not the source.
- Compares the price of coding assistants side by side, with a calculator for seat and usage models.The pricing page nobody vendor will write.
- Commento the page returns 404A privacy-respecting embeddable comment system. The site returns 404.Gone: the page is not there.
- Feature flags priced per flag rather than per seat, which is an unusual position in this category.Unlimited seats, which is the whole pitch.
- Pulls version-correct library documentation into a coding agent, so the answer matches the version you have installed.Fixes the model citing an API that was removed two releases ago.
- A hosted CORS proxy for front-end code that needs a resource whose server will not send the header.Solves a problem that should not exist, which is why it does.
- Crawling infrastructure with proxy rotation and blocking handled, sold as a data pipeline rather than a library.Sells the part of scraping that is actually hard.
- A calendar built for keyboard speed and scheduling across time zones. Acquired by Notion.A calendar that treats time zones as a first-class problem.
- Scheduled jobs with a model in the loop, so a recurring task can make a judgement rather than only fire.cron, if the job could decide something.
- A news feed for developers, personalised, replacing the browser new tab page.Occupies the tab you open by accident.
- Ninety-odd small utilities for PDF, image, text and JSON that run entirely in the browser, with nothing uploaded.Local by construction, which is unusual for this genre.
- Electronic signature, with an API for embedding the agreement step into a product.The signature is a workflow, not a file.
- Customer support software built for speed and keyboard use, aimed at SaaS teams.Support software that respects the agent's hands.
- Open-source feature flags with segmentation, available hosted, private cloud or on-premise.Flags you can run inside your own network.
- In-product onboarding and adoption flows that learn the product rather than being scripted screen by screen.Onboarding without hard-coding the tour.
- Residential proxy network and scraper API sold on transparent per-gigabyte pricing.Competes on price clarity in a market that avoids it.
- A git extension that records which parts of a repository were machine-generated.Makes provenance a property of the commit.
- Manages git worktrees from ticket to pull request, built for running several agent workflows in parallel.Worktrees as the unit of parallel agent work.
- A public Google Drive index published as a repository. A listing artefact rather than a developer tool.Ended up in the catalogue by being a link.
- Open-source experimentation and feature flags that run against the data warehouse rather than a vendor's event store.Experiments where your data already lives.
- Screen sharing and remote control built for pair programming, with latency and text clarity as the priorities.Built by people who tried to pair over a meeting tool.
- Feature flags and configuration with generated TypeScript types, so a flag is checked by the compiler.Configuration the type system can see.
- Built internal tools as plain server-side code. The address now serves an unrelated networking company.The domain moved on to a different business.
- A browser tool for reading, validating and formatting large JSON without an editor.For the payload too big to paste into a terminal.
- Repairs malformed JSON, which is a common problem when the producer was a language model.Exists because models emit not-quite-JSON.
- The feature flag platform that made progressive delivery a standard practice, now extending to controlling agents in production.Turned the if-statement into a control plane.
- Issue tracking built around speed and keyboard use, now positioning itself as the place both people and agents pick up work.Opinionated about process so you do not have to configure one.
- Asynchronous screen recording, replacing a meeting with something people can watch at speed.Made 'I will record a video' a normal answer.
- Maps, geocoding and navigation as SDKs and APIs, with control over cartographic styling.The maps you can restyle.
- Persistent project memory for agent sessions, with isolated workspaces and the stored memory visible.Memory you can read, which is unusual.
- One place for staff, agents and clients to connect tools, with access control and tracing across them.Tool access as an administrated thing.
- An infinite collaborative canvas that became the default for distributed workshops and diagramming.The whiteboard that survived everyone going home.
- Infrastructure for building and maintaining hundreds of API integrations, including the auth and sync nobody budgets for.Owns the integrations nobody wants to keep alive.
- Exposes a local port on a public URL with TLS, which is how most webhooks get tested for the first time.The tunnel that made webhook development possible.
- One API across email, calendar and contacts providers, hiding the differences between Gmail, Microsoft and IMAP.Abstracts the mail servers that disagree with each other.
- A browser extension that adds a file tree and navigation to GitHub's web interface.Fixes the one thing GitHub's file view lacks.
- Forward and reverse geocoding built on open data, with predictable pricing and no usage surprises.Geocoding on open data, priced plainly.
- Automates purchase order entry for distributors and wholesalers, reading documents into an order system.A vertical product that ended up in a developer list.
- Search that answers with citations rather than links, with model choice on the paid tier.Cites its sources, which is the entire product.
- Builds a local memory of your work so decisions and context can be recovered and fed to other tools.Remembers the week you already forgot.
- Address autocomplete and geocoding, built for the checkout field rather than for mapping.Aimed at the address form, which everyone gets wrong.
- Composable customer support infrastructure for B2B teams, assembled rather than configured.Support as components, not as a helpdesk.
- Syncs property management systems into a warehouse through pre-built connectors.A vertical integration product that landed in a developer list.
- Proxy management that charges for the service rather than per gigabyte of traffic.Attacks the pricing model, not the technology.
- An agent skill for deploying to Kubernetes, portable across any assistant that reads a skill file.Deployment knowledge as a file an agent can load.
- Location and device signals for fraud detection and operations, sold on accuracy of the signal.Geolocation as a fraud input.
- A macOS launcher with an extension store, window management and scripts, that replaced Spotlight for a lot of people.Became a platform by starting as a launcher.
- Models available from the Raycast launcher, with extensions so the answer can act on the machine.A model behind a keyboard shortcut.
- Browser extension for inspecting the React component tree, props, state and render performance.Standard equipment for React work.
- Time-travel debugging for Redux: replay actions, inspect state at each step, and reload without losing it.Made state changes something you could rewind.
- Revert the domain does not resolveAn open-source unified API for B2B integrations. The domain no longer resolves.Gone: the domain does not resolve.
- A scraping API with headless Chrome, rotating proxies and an MCP server for agent access.Scraping with an agent-shaped door.
- Handles proxies, headless browsers and blocking so the calling code only deals with the extracted data.Sells the infrastructure, not the parser.
- Structured JSON from search engine results, including ads, related searches and rich elements.Parses the parts of the page nobody else returns.
- Bidirectional sync between third-party APIs and your Postgres, replacing polling and webhook handling.Makes the API a table.
- Real-time search results as structured data, with proxies and captchas handled.Sells the part of scraping search that is legally and technically hard.
- Electronic signatures as a developer-first API, priced below the incumbents.Signatures without the enterprise sales process.
- Address verification and standardisation for postal and international addresses.Turns what a user typed into what the postal service accepts.
- Captures every assistant conversation from Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code and Codex, stored locally.Keeps the transcript nobody else keeps.
- Feature flags joined to impact data, so a rollout reports whether the change made metrics better or worse.Connects the flag to the consequence.
- Experimentation, feature management and product analytics in one platform, with statistics done properly.Takes the statistics seriously, which most flag tools do not.
- An extension for Codex and Cursor adding token optimisation, curated skills and specification-driven work.Tunes the assistant rather than replacing it.
- A task management system that drops into coding assistants, giving an agent an ordered plan to work through.Gives the agent a backlog instead of a prompt.
- Open-source marketing and search skills packaged for agents to load and use.Domain expertise as a loadable skill.
- Gamification features as a drop-in layer: streaks, achievements and progress, without building the mechanics.The retention mechanics, prebuilt.
- Open-source feature flags built for enterprises, with a private and secure deployment model.Flags for organisations that will not use a hosted one.
- Native integrations with go-to-market tools, built for products that must sync with a customer's CRM.Owns the CRM integration nobody enjoys.
- Identifies the technology a site runs on, used for both competitive research and sales prospecting.Reads a site's stack off the page.
- Warp's agent mode, where plain English drives multi-step terminal work. Now part of Warp's broader platform.The terminal that takes instructions.
- A long-standing browser extension adding a toolbar of inspection and debugging utilities.Predates the browser's own developer tools.
- Managed scraping delivered as a service: they operate the scrapers and hand over the data.Buys the data, not the scraper.
- Runs code, including machine-generated code, in secure sandboxes with dependencies and secrets handled.A safe place to execute code you did not write.
- Reviews, loyalty and referral marketing for commerce, used across the customer journey rather than only at the product page.Reviews as a marketing channel.
- Web data infrastructure for agents and applications, including pages behind protection.Built for the pages that do not want to be read.
