🚀 Meet DevScribe: All-in-One Workspace for Developers, Designers & Architects
After 1.5 years of building, I’m beyond excited to finally share DevScribe — a single workspace where you can Design, Code, Document, and Test APIs, all in one place.
No more switching between five different tools.
No more context loss.
Just focus and flow — everything you need, right where you need it.
🧠 Why DevScribe?
As a backend engineer, I constantly found myself juggling:
- Postman for API testing
- Draw.io for diagrams
- VS Code for coding
- Notion for notes
- LeetCode for practice
Five tabs. Five distractions.
So, I decided to build something better — a developer-focused workspace that brings it all together.
