Dashboards but on easy mode

Plus new developer tools and discussions to get those cogs turning

The Breakpoint

Hey all, welcome back to The Breakpoint, our weekly newsletter covering everything in developer tools on Product Hunt. This edition: Dashboards without the headache, Google’s newest coding tool, and more MCP goodness

The Latest

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

  • Preswald lives in the browser and turns a few lines of Python into shareable dashboards and internal tools. It comes with a reactive runtime, ready-made tables and charts, and a one-click deploy button.

  • Gemini 2.5 Pro now handles two million tokens and actually remembers what you gave it. You can drop in a YouTube video, a PDF, a set of mocks, whatever. It builds inside a live coding canvas and gives you something that runs.

  • Pipedream MCP gives AI agents like Claude and Cursor plug-and-play access to 2,500+ APIs. It runs in the background and handles auth, rate limits, and tool execution with zero setup.

  • Qagent automates end-to-end web application testing using AI agents—just describe your test cases, and it handles the rest, no coding required. It offers a visual test builder, real-time execution, reusable test cases, and scheduled runs, streamlining QA for developers and teams.

  • Sarv.live is a developer tool that allows you to share your local web applications with the internet, instantly and securely. Whether you’re demoing a website, testing a webhook, or sharing your dev server with a teammate

Who needs code anyway?

Replies fell into three vibes:

The hype squad: “Bold is where the magic happens!” Lots of high-fives and “you got this” energy.

The reality checkers: Deployment kills first-timers. Learn a bit of JavaScript, wrangle Docker, and expect messy AI code.

The accountability crew: Set clear daily goals, talk to real users, and lean on an accountability buddy when momentum nosedives.

The thread lands somewhere between pep rally and hard-truth handbook—worth a skim if you’re staring at a blank Replit tab with the clock already ticking.
