tl;dr we at Escape (YC W23), we scanned 5651+ public APIs on the internet with our in house feedback driven API exploration tech, and ranked them using security, performance, reliability, and design criteria. The results are public on https://apirank.dev. You can request that we index your own API to the list for free and see how it compares to others. Why we did that? During a YC meetup I spoke with a fellow founder that told me how hard it was to pick the right external APIs to use within your own projects. I realized that most of what we build relies on public APIs from external…

DevTool.io▲38I 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…

We are Jason and Alex and are very excited to be launching Adadot https://adadot.com/ in this community. We have spent 15+ years in remote tech teams in unicorns, start-ups and scaleups. Developers are increasingly under pressure to be more productive and ship faster. However, its difficult to improve what you cannot see or measure. My role (Alex) was in operations and I was collaborating with Sales, Finance and other teams. All these teams had systems like Salesforce and SAP that helped them quantify what “good looks like”. Meanwhile engineering (Jason’s background), was…

GitHired▲360Hey HN - today I’m launching GitHired. A hiring platform that ranks developers based on what they actually build — not what they claim on a PDF. It’s called GitHired, and here’s the core idea: GitHub > Resumes Instead of trusting “proficient in React” bullet points, we analyze a candidate’s actual GitHub: their real tech stack their most complex projects how active they are what kinds of contributions they make which skills match your job description and yes, we detect fake “green square farming.” Why we built this Because engineering hiring is broken. Resumes are inflated. Activity charts…

We've indexed 5M+ GitHub users and built a ranking system that goes beyond follower counts. The idea started from frustration: GitHub is terrible for discovery. You can't answer "who are the best Python developers in Berlin?" or "who identified transformer-based models before they blew up?" without scraping everything yourself. So we did. What we built: CodeRank score - a composite reputation signal across contributions, repository impact, and community influence Tastemaker score - did you star repos at 50 stars that now have 50,000? We track that Comparison Builder - allows users to build…

Hi HN, I am Jiayuan, and I'm here to introduce a tool we've been building over the past few months: Devv (https://devv.ai). In simple terms, it is an AI-powered search engine specifically designed for developers. Now, you might ask, with so many AI search engines already available—Perplexity, You.com, Phind, and several open-source projects—why do we need another one? We all know that Generative Search Engines are built on RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)[1] combined with Large Language Models (LLMs). Most of the products mentioned above use indexes from general search engines…
