I don’t know about any of you, but I always struggle with the vast array of tools and software that’s all over the place - going to different tabs, minimising and maximising apps, some stuff in repositories, some in dbs, etc etc and just the sheer messiness of the virtual workspace that is software engineering.
I have hunted for over a year for anything that would give a nice cohesive unified work environment.
There are some bitsa apps that start to address it but nothing cohesive.
So I built my own 🙂
Last night I finished the MVP for DevSpace - the first (that I know of anyway) fully unified infinite canvas virtual desk for design & software development.
It’s managed and overseen by an AI assistant, use choose with api key input and measureable counters, with chat prompt function.
Finally your AI can ‘see’ what you see as you are seeing it. In real time. No more explaining and screenshots and charges to point to what you want lol.
Like it’s right in there and can actively assess and create with you, as you do.
You can pin all of your apps in DevSpace, code snippets, design Ui with the graphic tools, connect apps, scribble on them, add post-its to them and spread them out on the ‘floor’ of the canvas for as far as you want with the infinite space.
It’s built on electron, next.js, tailwind. I’m using supabase and GitHub in the back at the moment.
It’s still in testing but I’m hoping to launch it proper in December.
I love it already. ☺️
