Launched this week
/dev/null started as a live stream from the JetBrains office. On Oct 15, 2026, Nuno Maduro, Brent Roose, Matthieu Napoli, and Pauline Vos built a social network for web developers from scratch in 48 hours, in the open. Sign in with GitHub, share code snippets, like, reply, etc, etc! Hundreds of you sent PRs. Laravel’s Taylor Otwell stopped by mid-stream (“Laravel forever”), and Vercel’s Guillermo Rauch called it “really well done.” Thank you for watching, sharing, and roasting us.

💘 That is open source, so tweaks and fixes can be made.
@adam_hosker yeah, literally merging non-stop in the last days
If it will stay active after a few months, then it's really cool. Also without bots.
@zoltanszogyenyi yeah, that will be the difficult part
finally, a dedicated platform for a developer instead of getting distracted by other things on other platforms
@jiteshghanchi exactly
I'm a bit late to the PH party here, but dev-null has been a lot of fun. I was around in the early days of Twitter, Forrst, Orkut, and a bunch of other social networks over the years and the same vibes are totally all over this project (or even better since you can actually get in and contribute code yourself!)
@/dev/null How do you plan to keep the developer community active launch and what features are coming next
I’m proud to contribute to this project. PRs get reviewed so quickly, and it’s such a great product. I really love using it!
@dennispetersmann thank you for contributing!
is the name gauche?
