Welcome to the daily.dev repository

We know how hard it is to be a developer. It doesn't have to be.
daily.dev is the homepage every developer deserves.
A personalized developer news feed, dev communities, and search. Free, and open source. Much better than what's out there. Maybe ;)

💜 About daily.dev

Important

Star us to show your support and love for daily.dev ⭐️

daily.dev is a free, open source personalized news feed for developers, used by millions of developers worldwide. It aggregates articles, tutorials, release notes, and news from thousands of trusted sources across the web, and personalizes your feed based on the tags you follow (like #webdev, #ai, #devops) and what you read.

You can use daily.dev as a new tab browser extension for Chrome and Edge, as a web app, or with the daily.dev mobile apps for iOS and Android. Beyond the feed, daily.dev is a community: join Squads to share and discuss content with other developers, comment on posts, bookmark what you want to read later, and search across everything.

📯 Philosophy

We recognize that developers today have the greatest power as a professional group to drive change and affect the lives of billions. Many platforms provide developers with tools that serve their success or the goals of their workplace, but daily.dev is by design for developers themselves.

We, as developers, know how challenging it is to grow professionally with so much going on, and that's why we built daily.dev: to make it easy for us to navigate the abundant content out there and discover all the knowledge we need with zero effort.

You can use daily.dev to:

• 👨‍💻 Learn and stay up-to-date

• 🙌 Interact based on the latest trends in our ecosystem

• 🚀 Collaborate with other developers you know and appreciate

❓ FAQ

Is daily.dev free?

Yes. The core daily.dev experience (the personalized feed, extension, mobile apps, Squads, bookmarks, and search) is free. There is an optional paid subscription, daily.dev Plus, that adds power features on top.

Is daily.dev open source?

Yes. daily.dev is open source under the AGPL-3.0 license. This repository is the central hub, and the frontend applications (extension and web app) live in dailydotdev/apps.

Which platforms does daily.dev support?

Browser extension for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, a web app at app.daily.dev, and native mobile apps for iOS and Android.

How does the feed personalization work?

You pick the tags and sources you care about (for example #react, #kubernetes, #ai), and the feed learns from what you read, upvote, and bookmark. You stay in control: you can follow or block tags and sources at any time, and switch between personalized and popular feeds.

How is daily.dev different from dev.to or Hacker News?

They solve different problems. dev.to is a blogging community where most content is written on the platform itself. Hacker News is a single shared ranked list of tech and startup links, the same for everyone. daily.dev aggregates developer content from thousands of sources across the web and personalizes the feed to your stack, with communities (Squads) built around it. Many developers use daily.dev alongside these platforms.
