Best developer tools launched on Product Hunt in 2025?

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.

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.

As a developer, what do you do with faltering projects?

You are a developer and you have put a few weeks/months into developing a project with big hopes for it. You launch it on PH and get a few hundred signups or views, etc. Then it is 4 weeks later and you are seeing nothing. People are barely visiting let alone signing up or buying your product. You try marketing but it has limited effect and as you end up running out of money to keep advertising it, you start to realise maybe this is not going to work out. What do you do with it? Do you keep going, and keep pushing it? Do you mothball it and take it offline? Do you try and sell the project to someone else to recoup some money? Do you look for partners to work with who can hopefully make it a success alongside you? Do you look for more feedback or ideas on where it can be altered or changed to become a better project? Or do you weep heavily for 3 weeks and turn to Netflix and chocolate to get you out of the depression? One of the reasons I ask is that there are some brilliant ideas on PH but when you click through they are dead or dying and it makes you think "If they just tweaked this" or "If they just added that?" or "If they used it for this purpose that has a huge demand, rather than for their audience that nobody is really that interested in?".

Where do you stand about developing a web app on a no-code platform?

We are currently building an automated task management app on Bubble.io. The platform is quite comprehensive, however as expected there are some limitations when it compared to native applications. I experienced that these limitations are easily resolvable by embedding some code inside, and no-code development definitely fastens the app development process. What do you think about no-code app development platforms? Have you used one before? Let's meet in the comments!
