Developer tools and APIs from indie makers, ranked by upvotes and scored on idea, execution, design and value. Find tools you can try today.
Developer Tools is the place for software that helps other people build software. RadarMakers accepts developer tools and APIs, so the category can include hosted services built on a library, command line utilities, editors and plugins, testing and monitoring helpers, and backends meant to save a small team some work. Every listing links to a working website, and the product has to be something you can try or buy right now.
Open source is a pricing model on RadarMakers, next to free, freemium and paid, so you can see at a glance how a maker offers the tool. Technical products tend to need technical feedback, which is why the comments on each product page matter: a visitor who ran the tool can say how it behaved in a real project. Votes decide the order of this page, and the idea, execution, design and value scores add a second signal for each product. A maker can also add a list of main features and the platforms the tool runs on. If you build a tool for developers yourself, you can list it for free and have it reviewed by a person before it goes public.
Developer tools and APIs are both on the list of accepted product types. The product needs a working website where it can be tried or bought, written up in a name, a tagline and a description made for the listing. Sites built only to launch, rank or catalog other products are not accepted.

Use the comments on its product page. You can also upvote it and score it on idea, execution, design and value. Comments from visitors who tried the tool help the maker and the next person who opens the page.
