The Breakpoint

The Latest

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

Ragie Connect is the latest launch from Ragie, a RAG-as-a-Service platform that lets devs integrate RAG into their applications. Ragie Connect lets you build RAG applications specifically on your user data. It handles auth and automatic user data-syncing from Google Drive, Salesforce, and Notion, among other apps. 

Scrapeless is an AI-powered web scraping toolkit designed for efficient extraction of publicly available web data. It integrates features like the Scraping Browser, Scraping API, Web Unlocked, Captcha Solver, and Proxies, along with an AI agent. 

AnyParser Pro provides multi-language document and image parsing. You can use it to extract text, tables, or charts from PDFs, docx, PowerPoints, and images. The best part? It lets you process thousands of mixed-format documents at the same time. 

GitPodcast lets you turn any GitHub repository into a podcast in seconds. The idea is to help facilitate quickly understanding any repository. You can control the speed of the audio and add subtitles to learn even more quickly. 

Coffee Commit is a fun little GitHub tracker that correlates your caffeine with your commits. It’s completely free, and might provide a bit of insight into how — or whether — those espresso shots (or Red Bulls) are affecting your output. 

Our Engineers’ top picks. 

Btw, this is a feature from a recent edition of The Leaderboard, our lightning-fast daily newsletter that provides a quick look at yesterday’s top 10 launches + three product takes. You should really be subscribed to it. No, seriously. Subscribe here now. It’s worth it. We promise. 

We asked some of the most cracked devs we know (PH engineers) to tell us about some of their favorite new dev tool launches this year. Here’s what they said:

A worthy Cursor competitor

Windsurf: An agentic IDE by Codeium

Windsurf is an AI code editor that shares a lot of similarities with Cursor, and at first glance, it might be hard to tell the difference between the two. However, Windsurf excels with its ability to easily search your codebase and identify what’s relevant, and I prefer its approach of directly editing your code. While I can’t definitively say Windsurf is better than Cursor, it’s certainly the tool I prefer right now.

Headache-free metrics

Hex: An end-to-end workspace for product analytics

When working with data, I enjoy: Quickly exploring with ad-hoc queries using common programming languages like Python and SQL, with an inline AI assistant; creating informative and pretty charts for experiments and health metrics; elaborating, tweaking or building on others’ work without overwriting it, and version controlling. Hex does all of this. All in all, I rarely find myself fighting with it to transform my idea into a chart. (Here’s a good breakdown of how it fix into the data world.)

Intuitive codebase editing

Codebuff: Edit codebases with natural language directly from your CLI

Cursor is getting all the attention, but not everyone loves VSCode, and it’s not clear they have the best interaction modalities. Codebuff gives me the parts I want the most from a coding agent, efficiently and autonomously searching the codebase, formulating a plan, writing to multiple files, as well as running tests and responding to their feedback. And since it’s a command line tool, it will drop into anyone’s workflow. I use it every day.

The Personal Software Revolution

"Now you can create software for n=1. I think that’s a really profound new thing." — Replit CEO Amjad Masad

This past October, Product Hunt Head of Content Sanjana Friedman sat down with Replit CEO Amjad Masad at Replit’s office in Foster City to discuss Replit Agent — an AI system that can create and deploy web applications given natural language prompts — the "personal software revolution," and AGI and its implications for society at large.
