The Breakpoint

The Latest

Five of the most interesting recent dev tool (or dev tool-adjacent) launches on the site. 

• File Sentinel tracks your zsh, bash or fish history and makes every command instantly searchable. Pin your go-to one-liners, scrub duplicates and skip the log spelunking forever

• Tile lets you drag and drop your app in a visual editor while AI agents wire up auth, payments, content and infrastructure under the hood. You walk away with full React Native code and an App Store–ready build, no DevOps nightmares.

• Phase hooks into Figma and turns your designs into fully interactive prototypes with real code export. Build complex user flows, simultaneous interactions and export React components without wrestling plugins.

• iftrue is an engineering management, advice, and meetings bot that lives in Slack. It connects to GitHub and Jira to surface team progress and blockers.

• xcmp is an open-source project that streamlines development and makes it easier to build and deploy powerful tools on the Model Context Protocol ecosystem.

Shipping for good

Hamza Afzal asked “What’s the most meaningful dev project you’ve seen or built?” He kicked things off by spotlighting mental health apps and accessibility tools like MindEase and Be My Eyes, then handed the mic to the community. Haiqa raved about ReadAlong’s real-time reading coach for kids, Olio’s food-sharing network, and others called out education and health-focused projects as having real staying power. Nika even flagged language-learning tools like Tracking Languages and Viseal for turning everyday activities into bite-sized lessons.

So the bigger question: which dev project has given you goosebumps and proof that code can really change lives?
