The Breakpoint

The Latest

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

Supabase AI is a global AI Assistant that can help things like Postgres schema design, data queries and charting, error debugging, Postgres RLS policies, Functions, Triggers, and more.

Realtime by Trigger.dev keeps your users updated with live progress from your background tasks. You can show progress bars, AI/LMM streaming responses, and AI agent observability.

Megaparse is a file parser optimized for LLM Ingestion. It can parse PDFs, DOCX, PPTX in a format that is ideal for LLMs. All of that accessible from a python package, an API, or a queue.

Radon IDE is a VSCode extension that turns your editor into a fully fledged IDE for React Native and Expo. You can jump to components, set breakpoints, develop components in isolation, edit device settings on the fly, and more.

Magic Patterns is an infinite, generative AI canvas built to help you design faster. You can prompt it, reference designs you’ve already created, and link screens together to create working prototypes.

Black Friday for cracked devs

Did you notice that yesterday’s leaderboard was absolutely packed with amazing dev tool launches? This wasn’t a coincidence; it was a dev tools “battle royale” organized by Supabase as part of its December Mega Launch Week — a ‘Black Friday for developers’ featuring 22 launches from dozens of different companies. These launch weeks aren’t marketing gimmicks. They’re core to Supabase’s shipping ethos, which CTO and co-founder Ant Wilson describes in a blog post as “choos[ing] an arbitrary date 3 months from now, and [shipping] something huge.” The strategy is simple but powerful: Start with a deadline, take stock of where you’re at, then settle on a big project (or multiple big projects, if you’re Supabase-size) that you’ll ship by that deadline. The magic here lies in the organization. It’s not just move fast and break things — it’s move exactly this fast and break exactly this thing.
