Most beautifully crafted developer tools launched on Product Hunt?
In a recent issue of The Breakpoint, we talked quality software.
Does design matter to developers? In my opinion, yes. Take Stripe, Linear, and Resend for example. Both dev-first products made craftsmanship a first principle.
There's definitely more examples:
Curious to learn from the community: What are the most beautifully crafted products for developers from your perspective?

@orka1000 re: Cursor. any experiences with @Zed? and Linear: ofc! fast and beautiful, a source of inspiration for many
MultiDrive
+1 for @Zed, @Linear and @Supabase

@mokosiy oh spot on. @PostHog is definitely opinionated.
MultiDrive
@fmerian Everything is opinionated :)
I switched from Google Analytics to PostHog and added product analytics sent from our desktop app, MultiDrive. I've enjoyed PostHog for more than half a year and how they've improved their system.
Hey, but it's me. What's your favorite alternative?

@mokosiy ngl i replaced GA with @Plausible Analytics
Call me biased, but @ThingsDB is a game-changer. We're building complex, highly available backends with ease. In all my years in IT, I’ve never experienced a workflow this smooth.

and curious what are the products that inspired you the most while building @ThingsDB?
I would include Tauri and Raycast in the list. They both feel very well-built and polished. It's incredible how much attention to detail is being paid to development tools these days.
