Over to you! What are your favorite developer tools in 2024? If you enjoy this Discussion, repost it. For inspiration, more awesome dev-first product launches in this repository.
"Slow" can mean a lot of things: a heavy home page, a checkout that hangs, an admin panel that lags, or just a bad connection on the client's side. A speed score does not always tell you which one it is.

We all have that one tool that quietly changed how we build, ship, or market something we found way later than we should have. For me, it was a simple log monitoring tool that saved hours of debugging at 2 am.

I see this every day scrolling the PH daily dashboard, struggling to spot the real difference between dozens of products claiming to be the next Lovable with a twist, another distraction-free productivity app, or yet another AI voice assistant.
Just like with copywriting or design, product concepts are starting to feel homogeneous.
