Today marks the official launch of Devit — a developer-focused social platform designed around how developers actually share and discover work. No noisy general-purpose feed, no algorithm optimized for outrage. Just a place to post what you're building, follow the people and projects you care about, and find your next collaborator.
An algorithmic feed that actually respects your time
Devit ships with a full ranking system under the hood — a Hacker News-style decay scoring model that balances recency against engagement, backed by a post_views tracking layer and scheduled trending computations. Trending posts and trending communities are surfaced through dedicated RPCs, and the feed learns who to recommend you follow next based on your activity.
Built around your GitHub identity
Your code is the centerpiece, not an attachment. Devit integrates deeply with GitHub:
Live repo cards
Drop a repo link and get a live, rich preview — stars, language, description, pulled straight from GitHub.
Code sandbox embeds
Share runnable code snippets directly inside posts, no context-switching to another tab.
Webhook ship posts
Wire up a webhook and every deploy or release can auto-post an update to your followers.
GitHub identity widget
Your profile carries a live GitHub identity card, verified through Supabase GitHub OAuth.
Real community, in real time
Beyond the feed, Devit gives developers the tools to actually organize around shared work: developer stacks with autocomplete so your profile reflects the tools you use, project badges and milestones to mark progress, topic channels to gather around a technology or niche, and enhanced DMs with live typing indicators for when a conversation needs to move faster than a comment thread.
Fast, safe, and built to scale
Under the hood, every realtime subscription runs through a centralized, view-scoped RealtimeManager, rate limiting is enforced at the database layer via Supabase triggers and a client-side MutationGuard, and a full moderation stack — spam detection, NSFW image detection via Clarifai, and an admin moderation dashboard — keeps the platform clean as it grows.
Devit isn't trying to be another feed you scroll past. It's a place where shipping something is the whole point.
This is the first stable release, and it's already improving fast — feed ranking refinements, a streamlined post card experience, and deeper community tooling are all actively in progress.
