Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • remake

    Enhanced GNU Make - tracing, error reporting, debugging, profiling and more

    Anybody who works with Make should also check out remake, because while Make is useful, it is pretty bad at diagnostics.

  • just

    🤖 Just a command runner

    Also check out just - similar to Make but with several improvements: no .PHONY targets, multiple language support, env var handling, command line arguments, automatic listing of targets, basic flow control and string manipulation functions, and command line completion. It's almost a drop-in replacement for make but with much better capabilities and ergonomics.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
