Developers constantly switch between Document editors, Postman, database clients, terminals, diagramming tools, and code editors just to work on a single project. DevScribe brings everything into one executable workspace where documentation isn't static—it can run code, test APIs, query databases, create architecture diagrams, execute Docker Compose, and organize technical knowledge together. Less context switching, more building.
Hi Product Hunt
I'm Avinash, the creator of DevScribe.
The idea came from a problem I faced every day as a software engineer. Whenever I was designing or building a feature, I found myself constantly switching between Notion for documentation, Draw.io for diagrams, Postman for APIs, DBeaver for databases, VS Code for snippets, Terminal, and Docker Desktop. It didn't make sense that everything about one project was scattered across so many tools.
I started building DevScribe during evenings and weekends, mainly to solve this problem for myself. After sharing it with a few developers and posting about it on Reddit, I realized I wasn't the only one frustrated by this workflow.
What started as a small side project slowly grew into DevScribe.
Today, I use it to keep everything related to a project in one place:
* Technical documentation
* Architecture, ER, sequence, and flow diagrams
* API testing (REST, WebSockets, SSE, Webhooks, and Kafka)
* Database queries (SQL, MongoDB, Redis, and Elasticsearch)
* Runnable code snippets
* Docker Compose execution
* Terminal commands
The goal isn't to replace every tool you already use. It's to reduce context switching by bringing documentation, code, APIs, databases, and diagrams into a single executable workspace. If you already use tools like Excalidraw or draw.io, you can continue using them through external plugins. You can even build your own custom plugins, so DevScribe adapts to your workflow instead of forcing you to change it.
I'd genuinely love your feedback.
* Which feature do you find most useful?
* Is there anything missing that you'd like to see?
* What would make you switch from your current workflow?
Thanks so much for checking out DevScribe. This has been a passion project, and I'm excited to hear what the Product Hunt community thinks.
