As we're approaching the long-awaited Golden Kitty Awards, I'm dropping here some of my favorite developer tools launched on Product Hunt in 2024:
- Supabase - the open-source Firebase alternative went GA last April and had a *stellar* launch: #1 Product of the Day, #1 Product of the Week, #1 Product of the Month!
- bolt.new - last year, Vercel's v0.dev was nominee, and I predict the alternative built by StackBlitz, #1 Product of the Day, #2 Product of the Week, and #9 Product of the Month, hit the list this year
- Langfuse 2.0 - the open-source LLM engineering platform, best AI Infra Product of the Year in 2023, had another amazing launch this year: #1 Product of the Day, #8 Product of the Week.
- Helicone AI - the open-source LLM observability platform had a great launch last August: #1 Product of the Day, #2 Product of the Week.
- Tempo Labs - Discovered during the Mega Launch Week, this code-first Figma alternative kept momentum on Product Hunt last December: #1 Product of the Day, #3 Product of the Week.
I could possibly think of more developer tools that ranked really well: Octomind (#1 Product of the Day), Pullpo (#2 Product of the Day), Inkeep (#3 Product of the Day), Corbado (#4 Product of the Day), MotherDuck (#5 Product of the Day)...
How about you? What are your predictions for this 2025 GKA edition?
Edit 2025-01-20: Product Hunt just unveiled a list of 20 dev-first products nominated for the Golden Kitty Award 2024 in the “Developer Tools” category!

Thanks for the mention @fmerian! Really love this community of builders that means so much for us at Langfuse.
Last year we launched Langfuse 2.0 but also a completely rearchitected backend which was really important for the long-term scalability and maturity of the product.

@marc_klingen keep up your great work, Marc!
2023 is half over and MotherDuck is already a game-changer for data folks. I expect Claude to make serious waves for devs by 2024. Anthropic seems to have an edge over OpenAI lately.

Hey there! For 2024, I think AI-powered IDEs will be huge. Tools like GitHub Copilot are getting smarter and more intuitive. Cloud-based dev environments will also gain traction - they're so convenient for remote work. And don't forget about low-code platforms; they're making development accessible to more people. Just my two cents!
Wow, those are some fantastic picks! Supabase and Langfuse 2.0 really impressed me too.
I've nailed some solid choices especially Superbase that launch was huge.
@chandan__kumar *huge* launch, indeed!
Great list! I totally agree about the impact of tools like Langfuse 2.0 and Tempo Labs.
