Lately that's a lot of AI: what changed in Claude Code, Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini, new models from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google, AI agents, MCP, local LLMs with Ollama, and whatever vibe coding means this week. But it's just as much the rest of the job: open source, Linux, self-hosting, security, Rust, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Go, Docker, Kubernetes, system design, game dev and career advice. Plus what shipped at GitHub, AWS, Cloudflare, Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft and Vercel, the occasional outage postmortem, and memes.
HOW IT WORKS
- Your feed starts from your stack and adjusts as you read
- Every post has a TLDR, so you can skim first and open what's worth it
- Popular, Most Upvoted and Best Discussions show what everyone else is reading
- Happening Now is a quick read of today's headlines as they break
- Articles open on a reading screen inside the app, with the comments one swipe away
- Why am I seeing this? on any For You post shows what put it in your feed, so you can tune it
- Topic chips above the feed jump straight to AI, web dev, DevOps and more
- Hide tags, sources or whole formats (memes, listicles, opinion pieces) you don't care about
- Search posts, tags, sources, people and Squads
THE COMMUNITY PART
- Comments under every post, often more useful than the article
- Squads: public or private groups around a language, a framework, a company or your team
- Messages, polls, posting your own links, and upvotes that decide what rises
- A profile with your stack, your experience and a DevCard you can share
- Reputation, achievements, quests, leaderboards and a reading streak, if you're into that
- Awards and Cores if you want to tip someone for a great post
SAVE IT FOR LATER
- Bookmarks and Read it later with reminders, synced with the web app and the browser extension
- Reading history, for the article you skimmed on Tuesday and can't find
- Best-of archives by month and year for any topic
- The same account on the web, and in the Chrome and Edge extension that turns every new tab into your feed
- Dark or light mode, list or grid, a different app icon, and notifications only for what you pick
FOR YOUR AGENTS
daily.dev has a public API and an MCP server. Hook it up to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or VS Code and your agent can search what developers are reading, pull your feed and save bookmarks. There's a plugin marketplace too.
