Hello! 👋
We just launched a small free and open-source project for developers: DevGlobe 🌍
The idea: while you’re coding, you appear on a globe so you can:
- Show your projects / GitHub
- Discover what other devs are working on
- Connect with developers around the world
- Motivate yourself to code (leaderboard and statistics)
- Don't code alone
Privacy first:
- Anonymous mode → a random city in your country
- Standard mode → only your city is shown (never your exact location)
100% free
100% open source
Your personal data and your code are never sent to the backend
Extensions available on:
- VS Code and its forks (Cursor, Windsurf, Antigravity…)
- Claude Code plugin
- JetBrains IDEs
Built with:
The globe runs on MapLibre GL JS (open-source map rendering) with basemap styles from CARTO, dark theme, vector tiles, smooth 3D globe projection. The frontend is Next.js + React + TypeScript, and real-time updates come through Supabase Realtime (Postgres changes stream). No polling, no refresh, when someone starts coding, their marker appears instantly.

If you are interested or have any questions, everything is explained on the website, but don't hesitate to ask, I will be happy to answer your questions!
