As we're wrapping up 2025, what are the best dev tools launched on Product Hunt this year in your opinion?
Dropping here some of my favorite, most inspiring dev-first product launches, in no particular order:
@v0 by Vercel - Runner-up in 2023, the v0 team launched twice this year, introducing v0 for iOS, ranked #1 Product of the Day.
@Cursor - The 2024 Product of the Year still hits the charts. This year, they launched 5 times, introduced 2.0, ranked #1 Product of the Day and #1 Product of the Week.
@Aikido Security - In the growing context of vibe coding and related security issues, the DevSecOps company is spot on: "Security is an everyone problem." This year, they acquired 2024 Golden Kitty Award nominee @Trag and nailed their first launch: #1 Product of the Day, #1 Developer Tool of the Month. Read on: A look at Aikido's first launch on Product Hunt.
@Lingo.dev - The AI localization engine (YC F24) launched on Product Hunt last February and crushed it: #2 Product of the Day, #1 Developer Tool of the Week, #1 Developer Tool of the Month.
@Appwrite - Launched Sites, the "open-source Vercel alternative," last May, ranked #1 Product of the Day, #1 Developer Tool of the Week, and #1 Developer Tool of the Month. The perfect Product Hunt launch?
@Kilo Code - The open-source AI coding agent founded by GitLab co-founder @sytses blasted it this year: Two launches on Product Hunt, ranked respectfully #5 Product of the Day and #1 Product of the Day, hit 500K+ downloads on VS Code and JetBrains, and recently raised $8M in seed funding. See: How Kilo Code launched on Product Hunt.
@Layercode - In the voice AI space, there's @ElevenLabs (2024 Product of the Year in the category, 16 launches in 2025) and new comers. Layercode is one of them. Launched last October, ranked #3 Product of the Day.
@Thesys - Launched three times this year, introduced C1, a GenUI API, and ranked #1 Developer Tool of the Week.
@Dimension - After months in stealth mode, the proactive AI assistant for engineering teams, among the most beautifully crafted products for developers, went GA, ranked #2 Product of the Day and #3 Developer Tool of the Week. Read on: How Dimension launched on Product Hunt.
HMPL.js provides the flexibility to build server-driven templates with minimal JavaScript. With its block-based syntax, customizable fetch requests, and built-in support for forms, events, and time-based syncing you can deliver dynamic user interfaces without relying on a heavy framework.

Try Google’s Nano Banana Pro image generation and editing model.
Supports text-to-image, image editing, multiple aspect ratios, and basic history.
The app was built 100% with v0 and is available as a forkable template, so anyone can reuse it to build their own AI image apps in v0.
They recently added new integrations, shipped MCP support, launched a Nano Banana Pro Playground, released Opus 4.5 preview, expanded their Ambassador Program, and more.

S/O to @thomaspaulmann @peduarte and team for once again putting effort into the little big details.
BOOM! Expense management startup @Ramp acqui-hired @Jolt AI to "help its engineers build faster."
@karimatiyeh on X:
"Build faster." Yep, that about sums it up. We want Ramp engineers to be as productive as possible, firing on all cylinders. Jolt is pushing us even further in that direction. High. Speed. Development. Velocity. That's the move here.
GitHub recently published this year's Octoverse, the state of the open-source ecosystem.
Below are my key takeaways:
AI doesn t replace developers it brings more people into the ecosystem. A new developer joined GitHub every second in 2025. Top 5 developer populations: 1. United States, 2. India, 3. China, 4. Brazil, 5. United Kingdom.
Open source remains the foundation. Fastest-growing OSS projects by contributors include @Zen Browser, @VS Code, and AI-focused @Continue.
TypeScript is now the most used language on GitHub, overtook both Python and JavaScript. The AI effect? 80% of new repositories used just six languages: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C++, and C#.
Gen AI is now standard in development. 1.1M public repositories now use an LLM SDK.
Agents are here. Coding agents created 1M+ pull requests (PR) in the last 6 months, and it's just getting started.
Hot off the press! OSS AI coding assistant @Kilo Code just announced a $8 Million raise in seed funding.
@scobreit wrote in their blog announcement:
This funding accelerates our roadmap: smarter multi-agent collaboration, enterprise-grade tooling for technical leaders, and a feature set that continues to accelerate the AI flywheel for development teams using Kilo.
Store and organize software binaries for any platform, with super accessible binary management which connects with the tools you already use. Whether you're working on mobile or desktop apps, games, or embedded - use Buildstash to share binaries securely with your team or with testers, guide builds through custom workflows, and distribute to users.
This summer, we made a bold decision to launch on Product Hunt. The problem? We had zero idea how to actually do it.
Well, almost zero. Our CTO @mokosiy was a massive Product Hunt fan, and his enthusiasm was our only compass. He armed us with the right stack: Cursor for code, PostHog for analytics, latest .NET and Avalonia to build the gorgeous app.
The Reality Check By August, the "Launching Soon" label we were banking on had vanished. We were flying blind. That's when the real work began. I didn't just read the guidelines; I followed them to the letter. We had to change the date of the Product Hunt launch five times. We realized that we weren't ready.
Dub.co launched Partners, an affiliate marketing platform, on Product Hunt 4 months ago, and they just announced a major milestone: $10,000,000 in payouts sent to creators worldwide.
We just wrapped the Orbit Awards for AI Dictation and now we re moving to the next category: AI Automation.
This one is for the tools that actually do work for you clearing chores, running workflows in the background, or quietly taking over a chunk of your week without turning into another dashboard you have to babysit.
