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.
Yay! I am a part of next potentially big thing!
Building a whole social network in 48 hours while streaming the entire process is crazy :D What was the biggest challenge you faced during those two days?
can't think of any really, it was fun all day
Shipping a whole social network live in 48 hours from the JetBrains office is the kind of thing that would have broken any team that did not enjoy each other, and GitHub sign in plus snippets is all a dev feed really needs.
@karimbenkeroum thank you!
Building a whole social network live in 48 hours with community PRs is wild. Huge props to the team for pulling it off!
