Stop Rewriting Prompts: Meet DevPromptly 🚀

Hi everyone 👋

I’ve been working on a small side project called DevPromptly a place to collect and share prompts that are actually useful for developers.

Like many of you, I often find myself reusing the same prompts when working with AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, etc.). Things like:

  • “Generate unit tests for this React component”

  • “Optimize this SQL query”

  • “Suggest better variable names based on code readability best practices”

I noticed I was copy-pasting and rewriting the same prompts again and again, and sometimes wasting time trying to tweak them to get good results.

So I thought: what if there was a place where developers could find, save, and share useful prompts tailored to our workflows?

That’s how DevPromptly was born.

What DevPromptly does today ✨

  • A collection of curated prompts for developers (by language, framework, and workflow).

  • Each prompt comes with responses, tags, and usage stats.

  • You can favorite prompts you find useful and rate them to help others.

  • You can organise your prompts in collection.

  • Copy and paste your prompts and jump to your favourite AI agent.

Right now, it’s still early days. I’m building this as a solo developer and trying to keep the scope simple, but here’s where I’d love to get your input:

Questions for you 🙏

  1. Do you think developers would actually reuse a prompt library, or is it easier to just write them on the spot?

  2. Which categories of prompts would be most valuable for you (debugging, testing, refactoring, documentation…)?

  3. What would make you come back and use a tool like this?

Why I’m sharing this here 🛠️

I know AI is moving fast and devs have lots of tools already, but I also feel there’s still room for focused, practical utilities that save us time. Even if DevPromptly doesn’t become “huge,” I see it as a way to:

  • Learn by building in public.
  • Connect with other developers who face similar challenges.
  • Maybe grow it into something useful for the community.

I’d love to hear your thoughts! Be brutally honest — is this something you’d use? Or am I overthinking a problem that doesn’t exist? 😅
